[Tex/LaTex] Texlive – restoring texlive/updmap font state

texlive

Well, I just wanted to have times render in a DVI in evince; that command failed at mktexpk, basically something like this if I try to run it standalone: 

$ TEXMFCNF=/path/to/texlive/2011/texmf/web2c  mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+60/600 --dpi 660 ptmri7t
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ptmri7t.
mktexpk: perhaps ptmri7t is missing from the map file.

Then I tried to updmap --enable Map times.map, then times.map doesn't exist :(.. then updmap --disable times.map, then updmap --enable Map adobe.map, than that didn't do anything, so I did updmap --disable times.map; then the same with updmap-sys… Apparently I've pasted also updmap-sys --enable Map fourier.map, so I disabled that too updmap-sys --disable fourier.map – and now, I'm at a point where pdflatex started spitting this out: 

pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /home/USER/.texlive2011/texmf-var/fonts
/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): ambiguous entry for `zpcp32bc': font file prese
nt but not included, will be treated as font file not present


pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /home/USER/.texlive2011/texmf-var/fonts
/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): ambiguous entry for `zpcp33bc': font file prese

/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): ambiguous entry for `zpcp33bc': font file prese

I tried also updmap-sys --force --syncwithtrees (and updmap --force --syncwithtrees) after any additions are seemingly removed, but no dice…

Any idea how I can "reset" everything back to defaults? Can one use tlmgr maybe? I'm on Ubuntu with Texlive 2011..

EDIT: solved my problem, my notes are below – but I think it's good to know if there's a "factory reset" for these kinds of things…

It turns out I forgot a updmap --disable adobe.map, now those warnings I gone … I just went through the log file, and saw that it has: 

pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /home/USER/.texlive2011/texmf-var/fonts
/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): invalid entry for `@c': both ps_name and font file missing

pdfTeX warning: pdflatex (file /home/USER/.texlive2011/texmf-var/fonts
/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map): ambiguous entry for `@c': font file present but
 not included, will be treated as font file not present

… and then in the mentioned pdftex.map, I could see stuff like @c " Adobe Type Basics " A 902 – which should apparently be comments, but seemingly aren't treated as such.

On miktex I would run updmap --verbose >updmap.log and updmap --verbose --admin>updmap2.log (--admin is the miktex equivalent of updmap-sys). And then I would check in the log-files which .cfg are used and which map-files are written and sort things out in an editor.
