missing fonts

[Hans van der Meer]

I thought I had a fairly normal tetex tree with the latest lm fonts  
installed.
Can someone guess why I am getting a host of missing font messages in  
a context run?
Something in the wrong place or absent?

The log contains:

(./front.tex
fonts           : resetting map file list
fonts           : using map file: original-base
fonts           : using map file: ec-public-lm

Wrong font map search path:

Because this is pdf(e)tex, it should be reading map files from

   /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-local/fonts/map/pdftex

not dvipdfm. Your TEXFONTMAPS entry in texmf.cnf probably needs
some tweaking.

Cheers, Taco

I am sorry, I cannot find what to change or what should be wrong.
My texmf.cnf reads:
....
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf-local
....
TEXMF = {!!$TEXMFCONFIG,!!$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!! 
$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}
....
% font name map files.
TEXFONTMAPS = .;$TEXMF/fonts/map//
....

Mirabile dictu! The font missing messages disappear after changing  
"texexec" to the ruby script "texmfstart texexec" with no change in  
texmf.cnf.
