[MiKTeX] droid package needs map?

[Bastiaan V. <Bastiaan@Veelo.net>]

Hi,

I had some trouble getting the droid font package to work. The package 
itself downloaded and installed on demand, but output other than dvi 
failed with miktex-makemf complaining that a source file could not be 
found. Yap would also fail to read the .dvi.

I finally found that I had to do
   initexmf --edit-config-file updmap
then add the following line in the editor
   Map droid.map
then save and do
   updmap

After that dvipdfm, yap and pdflatex worked as expected.

My question: is this normal, shouldn't MikTeX be able to do this 
automatically? Or where should I have looked to find these instructions?


Thanks!
