I fixed the problem. Reason:

Last week I installed M$ truetype fonts using kfontinst in system 
administration mode. It seems kfontinst generated the afm files with read 
permissions for the user only, i.e. for root. After changing permissions it 
works ok. Maybe someone should have a look at kfontinst.
