    What about this updmap update? 

Seems good to me.  The map file changes will probably cause more trouble
than everything else put together, so anything we can do to help people
will be good.

Can you check it in to all the bin/ dirs, too?

    In any case, feedback about these message texts is very welcome...

    m="$m is not an error per se, but please consider to remove duplicates"
to remove -> removing


However, my biggest suggestion for these messages would be to include
specific information.  That is, the exact paths to the map files and/or
entries that caused problems, and/or the exact path to the log file I'm
supposed to look at.  (If all that is in there, that's great -- just
didn't look like it.)

Reading the general principles in the TDS will not help people get their
fonts back, it'll probably just frustrate them.

Maybe Hans' script(s) could somehow be mentioned, too, but I don't know
precisely what to suggest there.

Thanks,
k
