I've tested the patch in my previous email pretty extensively, and I'm 
pretty sure it's OK except for one detail:  The call to 
`/usr/bin/updmap-sys --nomkmap --enable $map' in the postinstall scripts 
should use the --nohash option.  I'm attaching a revised patch that does 
this.

The following 19 packages need to be updated (because they need to 
enable maps):

texlive-collection-basic
texlive-collection-context
texlive-collection-fontsextra
texlive-collection-fontsrecommended
texlive-collection-games
texlive-collection-langarabic
texlive-collection-langcjk
texlive-collection-langcyrillic
texlive-collection-langczechslovak
texlive-collection-langfrench
texlive-collection-langgreek
texlive-collection-langhebrew
texlive-collection-langindic
texlive-collection-langlithuanian
texlive-collection-langmongolian
texlive-collection-langpolish
texlive-collection-langvietnamese
texlive-collection-latex
texlive-collection-latexextra

I've rebuilt all of them and installed/uninstalled them in various 
combinations and couldn't find any problems involving fonts.

Before I update them in the distro, there's one other thing I thought of 
that the TeX Live postinstall scripts should be doing.  Shouldn't they 
call fc-cache whenever fonts are installed into 
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype, 
usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype, or usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1?
