Issue with Texlive fonts when installed from the AUR.

Hi,

I have installed texlive-full from the AUR but it is not compiling some of my documents. I have narrowed the issue to one package "bbm". For instance, take the following tex file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bbm}
\begin{document}

this is a test $\mathbbm{1}$

\end{document}

When I compile it with "pdflatex", I get the following error:

This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023) (preloaded format=pdflatex)

However, I am able to find the bbm10 file:

When I installed Texlive from the official website, I did not have this issue. I am wondering how can I fix the Aur version or to whom should I report it?

The "AUR-version" indeed _is_ TeXLive from the official website. Try to run updmap-sys as root.

Unrelated, the OP uses pdflatex, not xelatex.

The "AUR-version" indeed _is_ TeXLive from the official website. Try to run updmap-sys as root.

I did, it returned the following

updmap will read the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
  /opt/texlive/2023/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap may write changes to the following updmap.cfg file:
