Hello,
a friend sent me some currupted PDF files (produced by ConTeXt)
yesterday: all the fonts were missing in the document. He installed
the latest ConTeXt (unzipped cont-tmf) on top of MikTeX (and I was
able to reproduce his problem).
In MikTeX the file
fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/ec-public-lm.map
was used instead of
fonts/map/dvips/context/ec-lm.map
ec-public-lm.map looks like:
ec-lmb10 lm-ec lmb10
ec-lmbo10 lm-ec lmbo10
ec-lmbx10 lm-ec lmbx10
ec-lmbx12 lm-ec lmbx12
while the other one reads:
ec-lmb10 LMRoman10-Demi "enclmec ReEncodeFont" <lm-ec.enc <lmb10.pfb
ec-lmbo10 LMRoman10-DemiOblique "enclmec ReEncodeFont" <lm-ec.enc <lmbo10.pfb
ec-lmbx10 LMRoman10-Bold "enclmec ReEncodeFont" <lm-ec.enc <lmbx10.pfb
ec-lmbx12 LMRoman12-Bold "enclmec ReEncodeFont" <lm-ec.enc <lmbx12.pfb
So pdfTeX reported many arrors (see one of the recent threads "new release"):
Warning: pdfetex (file original-base.map): invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font fil
e missing
...
Whose fault is it? MikTeX's pdfTeX using the wrong path & files or
were the map files [unintentionally] changed in order to support XeTeX
perhaps?

Please ignore my post. I should have read the other thread more
carefully before posting this.

Mojca,
I have no idea if this is related, but I had similar problems a few
days ago when I was using TeXShop on OS X. I get error messages such
as this one:
{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/
original-empty.ma
p}
fonts : using map file: original-base
{/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context/
original-base.map
Warning: pdfetex (file /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/map/
dvipdfm/con
text/original-base.map): invalid entry for `fmvr8x': font file missing
The point seems to be that ConTeXt somehow runs in dvipdfm mode and
reads the wrong mapfiles. How do you call ConTeXt? When I run it on
the CLI or from within emacs/auctex with texmfstart texexec,
everything works again. I assume that an obsolete command is passed
to the command interpreter in your case as well.
HTH

dvipdfmx and pdftex have a different map file syntax; normally the progname variable takes care of that:
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{$progname,pdftex,dvips,}//
so you need to figure out what miktex is using
(btw, i thought that i put the map files in the pdftex path)
