I have mathdesign installed with texlive 2013. Nothing special about the installation, at least mathdesign or its fonts are not installed by myself.
Everything worked half year ago, but latest updates now cause an error with this code:

Best Answer
I renamed the file
c:/Users/Matthias Pospiech/.texlive2013/texmf-var/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.mapand ranupdmap-sysandupdmap. The latter recreated the filepdftex.map. The font worked after that again.
