It looks like the fonts are not fully or proper installed.

Seems, you're out of luck.

The error message above is helpful "perhaps Parmaite_alt is missing from the map file.", which is correct. To register the tengwar font map file in Debian, you have to (as root):

1. Append the line "MixedMap tengwarscript.map" to /var/lib/tex-common/fontmap-cfg/texlive/texlive-fonts-extra.cfg
2. Run update-updmap
3. Run updmap-sys

Now the map file is registered. The error message changes to:

(see the transcript file for additional information){/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/base/8r.enc}{/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/tengwarscript/tengwaralt.enc} !pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file Parmaite_alt.ttf): cannot open TrueType font file for reading
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

The reason is: the file Parmaite_alt.ttf is not part of the Debian distribution; it has to be downloaded manually: http://at.mansbjorkman.net/parmaite.htm . About the reason not to include it I can only guess, but the copyright notice, is rather a cry for "do not include me!" [1].

Sorry, no bug! One could think about removing the tengwar stub from TeX Live/Debian to avoid further confusion.

HTH,
