Thanks, I overlooked that. If I understand it correctly, I had these old map files in /etc/texmf/dvips for quite some while, since it was decided between different teTeX 2.0.2 versions that map files should not be treated as config files, which is a good idea IMO. I don't understand how this applies to the current situation, where map files are actually located in /etc/texmf/map/. Are map files treated as config files again? cheerio ralf
