[We] returned to the gate twice in our departure airport; second time for L CTR FUEL PRESS EICAS. Maintenance reset pump control box in forward electronics bay and we departed thereafter.Just after beginning descent into our destination; a strong electrical burning smell and acrid fumes occurred in the flight deck. Actions carried out in accordance with QRH smoke/fumes tab. Emergency declared to Center and we requested the most suitable runway due calm winds and the shortest route.We made a high speed approach to about 10 miles; slowed and executed a normal 25 flap landing and roll-out for CFR inspection. Smoke had dissipated somewhat in OVRD position on equipment cooling selector; but overheat sirens sounded due to the lack of pressurization [outflow which made the] overheat worse. Status message FWD ELEC EQUIP EXH and subsequent EICAS amber caution occurred from about 3;000 FT inbound. After inspection; we taxied to the gate for a normal deplaning.

A B767-300ER flight crew declared an emergency and made an expedited arrival to their destination due to electrical fumes; burning smells and; ultimately; an EICAS FWD ELEC EQUIP EXH message.
