Indeed, I get an error here:

There doesn't seem to be a file bsmilp03 in Debian. Consequently, I
don't get to the point where the truetype font is/was converted to pk
for dvips. What am I doing wrong?

The tfm files are needed for PDF, too - they contain the information for
TeX how much space the glyphs take, and are therefore needed for line
breaking.
