Just to confirm, so you have a local texmf root somewhere with fonts\tfm, fonts\vf, etc. populated with your files *and you have refreshed the FNDB* (initexmf [--admin] --update-fndb)

.map files go into dvips\config in your local texmf root (and make sure the FNDB is refreshed). Then run:

initexmf [--admin] --edit-config-file=updmap

A notepad window with updmap.cfg will open. Add the line:

Map filename.map

for each of the .map files you've installed. Close and save this file. Then run:

initexmf [--admin] --mkmaps

If you're doing this with --admin, these commands need to be run from an elevated command prompt.
