   Okay,   
      
   My next guess is that Times-Roman, being one of the 13 base fonts, is   
   loaded by default and the Fontmap.GS is only used when it needs a font   
   it doesn't already know about. This definition appears to be overridden   
   by the loadallfonts command.   
      
   What if you changed the name to /Times-RomanX? What happens then?   
      
   Probably not a final solution but a good test.   
      
   You could also try replacing the file Nimbus-Roman* files with your own.
