I am trying to install tamil Omega 1.0.2 in ubuntu 12.04 texlive system.. The install.sh script that comes with the package places the various files in the texmf tree as follows: .pfb /fonts/type1/tamil .tfm /fonts/tfm/tamil .sty /tex/lambda/tamil .fd /tex/lambda/tamil .map /fonts/map/dvips/tamil .otp /omega/otp/tamil .ocp /omega/ocp/tamil And does texhash updmap-sys --enable Map tamil.map After this, the command "lamed file.tex" works fine and the .dvi file is created. But, dvips is not reading the .map files and tries to make bitmaps kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 3+300/600 --dpi 2100 tmca0bps mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for tmca0bps. and hence no .ps output is generated. Consequently ps2pdf command also generates an empty pdf file. The command: kpsewhich tamil.map certainly locates the map file. I guess the problem is the incorrect directory where the map file is placed. What is the correct directory where the .map file should go? I see the standard psfonts.map, builtin35.map etc resides in /fonts/map/dvips/updmap/ Where should I move the tamil.map file so that dvips can read it and generate tghe .ps file, and then the ps2pdf command can generate the pdf output? Will it help if I move the tamil.map here and do texhash and an updmap? By the way, things used to work perfectly in previous versions of ubuntu textlive 2007. Any help will be appreciated.
