It’s almost certainly due to configuration of the modular texlive.
We’re generating a whole bunch of font map files and encoding files
already, but something somewhere must still be missing.

I embarked on a journey to fix this and am now deep into upgrading and
adding TeX Live packages…  The first step in fixing this is to ensure
that all texlive-* packages contain the files that they should.  The old
texlive-* packages consisted simply of a single directory from the big
TeX Live SVN repository.  Since the addition of multiple SVN fetch and
simple-texlive-package using it I have added a whole bunch of new
texlive-* packages that contain all files as recorded in texlive.tlpdb.

This needs to be done for all remaining old packages (you can tell they
are old by the naming scheme: texlive-{latex,luatex,generic,fonts…}-*
instead of just texlive-[name]).
