my thesis was built successfully on texbasic2015. Today I updated my textlive version to texbasic2016. After updating and installing all required packages, it is not possible to build the thesis. In fact, it throws the following error:

{/usr/local/texlive/2016basic/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/base/8r.enc} </Users
/macbookpro/Library/texlive/2016basic/texmf-var/fonts/pk/ljfour/jknappen/ec/ect

!pdfTeX error: /Library/TeX/texbin/pdflatex (file ua1r8r): Font ua1r8r at 624 n
ot found
==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I tried googling a lot and still couldn't find a solution. Could you please help?

UPDATE: When I start building, it shows the following alerts: enter image description here

    Unfortunately, getnonfreefonts doesn't write its updmap.cfg in texmf-local. Did you use getnonfreefonts-sys to install uarial? – egreg Jul 22 '16 at 21:48
  • @egreg I don't know. I've downloaded and installed getnonfreefonts from https://tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html – lenhhoxung Jul 22 '16 at 21:55
  • @egreg Oh, I think I've install uarial already. When I run command "getnonfreefonts --lsfonts", it shows arial-urw installed – lenhhoxung Jul 22 '16 at 21:58

    I had to run getnonfreefonts-sys -r, then the map files were included. You could also try \pdfmapfile{=ua1.map} in your document. – Ulrike Fischer Jul 22 '16 at 22:04
  • The command getnonfreefonts-sys -r does nothing for me but the second command does work. I wish I can upvote 1000 times for you. Thank you for saving my days. – lenhhoxung Jul 22 '16 at 22:25

    Please read http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/255709/why-shouldnt-i-use-getnonfreefonts-to-install-additional-fonts-why-shouldnt-i. It is a question and answer I wrote to explain why you should not use getnonfreefonts but only getnonfreefonts-sys. This is partially off-topic because you'd like run into this problem even if you'd used getnonfreefonts-sys for the reason egreg gave, but you would at least avoid similar related problems. – cfr Jul 23 '16 at 03:10

    In this case, start by following the instructions in my answer to undo the use of getnonfreefonts (and updmap, if applicable). Then use getnonfreefonts-sys to install the additional fonts you would like. This should get you back to a working installation and put you in better shape to avoid the problems I describe in the link. – cfr Jul 23 '16 at 03:11
