texnansi tfm files are not distributed (actually, what gets distributed is some 
mix of encodings) so you need to generate them using texfont

you can make a private map file, say myfonts.map, and load that one with

   \loadmapfile[myfonts.map]

lines with as first char an '=' will replace other map entries, so that way you 
can overrule defaults
