Created attachment 4639 [details] simple test source with size 12 tetex-latex-2.0-alt10 Unlike some other tools (e.g., xdvi) pdflatex doesn't force the generation of needed fonts.

Created attachment 4640 [details] no-font12.pdf the empty resulting pdf.
In fact, there is an option to switch the wanted feature on: pdflatex -mktex=pk no-font12 So, perhaps, this report should be regarded as a wish to switch this option on by default.
(For info: This is not a problem of pdflatex from texlive-latex-base-2008.0-alt0.15: it generates fonts with and without this option.)
