But the problem I'm most anxious to solve at present has to do with
the change from TeTeX to TeXLive.

I have some fonts hand-installed in /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/
(Adobe Minion) which I use more or less constantly. All worked very
well before, but following the upgrade, TeX can no longer find
them. Or to be more exact, dvips (or xdvi or pdflatex) calls kpathsea,
which calls mktexpk, which complains:

don't know how to create bitmap font for LY1-MinionPro-BoldDisp-kern-liga-onum-base

The fonts are installed in /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts and
/usr/local/share/texmf/ is the value of $TEXLOCAL.

Previous upgrades (within the tetex framework) have always handled
this without difficulty.

Run the following two commands and post the output:

find /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/ -type f | while read FILE; do BASENAME="${FILE##*/}"; echo "checking $BASENAME: $(kpsewhich $BASENAME)"; done

find /usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/ -name \*.map | while read FILE; do grep "${FILE##*/}" /var/lib/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg; done

(I tested this in bash; I have no idea if it will work in other shells.)
