Re: [MiKTeX] Helvetic fonts not available from pdflatex

[Juan I. M. <mo...@un...>]

The command  "initexmf --mkmaps -v" gives

Creating new map files using the following configuration:
   prefer outlines: true
   download standard fonts (dvips): false
   download standard fonts (pdftex): false
   download standard fonts (dvipdfm): false
Scanning for LW35 support files
not using map file 'dvips35.map'
not using map file 'pdftex35.map'
not using map file 'dvipdfm35.map'
not using map file 'ps2pk35.map'

It is not using LW35 files. I do not know why.  In updmap.cfg  I see the 
line  "LW35  URWkb".

regards,
Juan Ignacio
