Dear all,
Latest texlive 2010 on F16 and I get
kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 pplrij8r
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for pplrij8r.
mktexpk: perhaps pplrij8r is missing from the map file.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
(see the transcript file for additional information)
!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file pplrij8r): Font pplrij8r at 600 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

Again, I'd prefer if bitmap fonts were not used.  Is this another case
of fonts missing from a map file?  In this case it's the well used
palatino typeface.

I'd provide more information but I've still not gotten my head around
TeX fonts.
