The issue you are experiencing is probably yet another updmap.cfg issue. Earlier 
in this list I provided some workarounds that helped me fix the issue with the 
Type3 fonts.

You should try the following command to see whether there is an amsfonts entry 
in your updmap.cfg file.

less $(kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFSYSCONFIG)/web2c/updmap.cfg

Regarding amsfonts, the following entries should be present:

MixedMap cm.map
MixedMap cmextra.map
MixedMap cyrillic.map
Map      euler.map
MixedMap latxfont.map
MixedMap symbols.map

If any of these are missing, reinstall the texlive-amsfonts package. However, 
due to another bug, it is possible that the problem remains. In this case, 
compare the output of

cat $(kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFSYSCONFIG)/web2c/updmap.cfg | egrep \ 
'^Map|^MixedMap' | sort

with the output of

cat $(kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFMAIN)/web2c/updmap.cfg | egrep \ 
'^Map|^MixedMap' | sort

If they differ, rename (as root) the updmap.cfg file in the TEXMFSYSCONFIG/web2c 
folder:

mv $(kpsewhich --var-value=TEXMFSYSCONFIG)/web2c/updmap.cfg{,.bak}

and update the map files (as root):

updmap-sys
