I have installed cm-super
from the command line in Ubuntu.
I can see the .pfb
files in usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/public/cm-super
.
I am still not sure how to invoke them in LaTeX.
This page:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/fonts/ps-type1/cm-super/INSTALL
indicates that I have to manually update updmap files? Really? Is it that complicated?
Do I need to make sure of the presence of anything other than the .pfb files?

If the cm-super fonts are correctly installed they will be used automatically as soon as you try to use the computer modern fonts with T1-encoding. There is no need to invoke them in a special way. Try this document:
Then check the log-file. With cm-super you should see that at the end a cm-super font is mentioned:
Without cm-super there would be a
.pk
at this place.
