  I think there's a bug with mktexpk and mktextfm:
  I get the following:

  mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for cmtt7.
  kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.
  page: Warning: font `cmtt7' at 600x600 not found, trying `cmr10' instead

  kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+0/600 --dpi 600 cmcsc14
  /usr/bin/mktexpk: 1: /usr/bin/mktexpk: /usr/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Permission denied
  mktexpk: / already exists.
