This is not correct. My suggested solution always works, regardless of the used TeX distribution: . The file ecrm10.tfm from the ec-fonts-mftraced package is completely identical to ecrm1000.tfm if produced from the standard EC sources. . The search path for TFM files can contain multiple instances of the same file without conflict; normally the first one is used. In case the user decides to install EC fonts, it probably means that another incarnation of ecrm1000.tfm in a different directory is found by kpathsea (or another file searching library), but this is completely irrelevant for TeX since the files are the same.
