cm-super-t1.map
cm-super-t2a.map
cm-super-t2b.map
cm-super-t2c.map
cm-super-ts1.map
cm-super-x2.map
fourier.map

were all being loaded from the directory texmf-dist/fonts/map/dvipdfm/context

changing to copies from fonts/map/dvips/(cm-super|fourier) made things
work.  those files weren't in the rpm to start with.

they ought to be available, one way or another, but i understand the point.
perhaps an adjunct rpm?

(for my situation, there's no problem, since all target machines have
ridiculously large discs... ;-)

if they're not in the base rpm set, the fonts should not be in the map
set.  so either remove them manually from the configuration, or run a
series of "updmap-sys disable Map" commands so that T1/cm family docs
don't fail for lack of the .pfb files.
