i presume you're talking about the fedora 8 beta port of tex live,
that's now on its way in fedora 9?

it's _not_ a tex live issue: i corrected it by providing myself with the
correct map file from the tex live disc.

if so, this is a failure to rectify something i reported to the thread
on the redhat bugs system rather early on.  they had reported the bug
resolved, i thought.

would you post an issue on the redhat bugreport site, please?
