Yes, of course, you have to run updmap-sys if you install to
TEXMFLOCAL.

However, updmap calls texhash if necessary.

In real life, getnonfreefonts is more complicated as I explained here.
Because it takes some time to create the map files, I avoid to run
updmap for each font.  getfont tests whether a font has been installed
already and passes this information to getnonfreefonts.

getfont just runs

	updmap --nomkmap --nohash --enable Map=<some font>.map

which is quite fast because no map files are created and texhash
is not run.

getfont tells getnonfreefonts whether a particular font is new, and
only if there is at least one new font, getnonfreefonts will run
updmap to create the map files.

I siplified things in my previous mail but I think that it describes
the relevant things.

It's a pity.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
