Valid points. I mainly described my system here, which seems to have
acquired some history. :-) At one time I had a updmap.cfg which was
edited by hand in TEXMFCONFIG and simply kept using that after I learned
about the possibilities of update-updmap. That also explains why I used
TEXMFCONFIG/web2c/updmap.d. It simply looks odd to me having the 'foo.d'
directory at a different level than 'foo.cfg'. But that doesn't matter
if they are in completly different places to begin with. Another try at
this part:
----------------------------
In step a), copy all relevant files to the appropriate subdirectories in
$TEXMFHOME. The configuration file created in step b) schould be placed
in $TEXMFCONFIG ($HOME/.texmf-config by default). An appropriate place
would be $TEXMFCONFIG/updmap.d. Note that most likely you will have to
create this directory first. In step c), one then calls "update-updmap"
to create updmap.cfg in $TEXMFVAR/web2c ($HOME/.texmf-var/web2c by
default):
$ update-updmap --conf-dir $HOME/.texmf-config/updmap.d \
--output-file $HOME/.texmf-var/web2c/updmap.cfg
This creates $HOME/.texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg based on the
configuration files in $HOME/.texmf-config/updmap.d *and* in
/etc/texmf/updmap.d. If a file exists in both directories, the version
in $TEXMFCONFIG takes precedence. After updating the ls-R files with
"mktexlsr" or "texhash" (step d), one has to generate the map files in
step e). This is done by running the program "updmap" instead of
"updmap-sys".

Your sentence above describes everything I wanted to say in that last
paragraph. So I would simply leave out this last paragraph.
