[Tex/LaTex] Auto expansion only with scalable fonts

fontspdftex

From this question I understand that this is due to requesting microtype operations on bitmap fonts.

My problem is that the exact code I'm compiling works fine on my laptop (OS X 10.6, TexLive and packages from MacPorts), but on my new desktop at work (RHEL6) it errors out with the pdftex error in the title.

I'm writing an article for a conference, and to get the stylesheet working I had to install eco.sty to a private texmf tree, so I suspect there's something I've missed in the install procedure, but I can't see why. I've installed eco.sty and the fd-files to ~/texmf/tex/latex/eco and the tfm and vf files to ~/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/eco and ~/texmf/fonts/vf/public/eco respectively (as the INSTALL file told me to). And I remembered to texhash afterwards.

Is there something else I need to do, like something related to updmap? This question would seem to indicate that this might be the culprit, but eco doesn't come with any map files, nor can I seem to find any fitting map files on my laptop.

It would very much easier to help you if you would some vital informations like a minimal example that demonstrates your error, log file and the exact wording of your error message.

As I have to guess: Install the cm-super fonts. If you have a modern texlive you should be able to do it with the texlive package manager tlmgr.
