No. The "problem" comes from the new LaTeX support package.

It is not a problem of pdftex. The macro package does not find what you
wants and uses other fonts. The underlying pdftex engine does not see
what you have initially requested.

To some extend, it is wrong that this happens silently. The macro package
does write things about font substitution into the log.  It could well
do more, but you should discuss this with Walter Schmidt.

Well, to some extend it is a teTeX issue, because I decided to use
Walter's new support files *even though* it has introduced an incompatible
change.
