Probably because there was already the line "Map mtpro2.map" in the  
file /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg. So it was  
not necessary to re-write this line.  Instead disabling and re- 
enabling, a simple "sudo updmap-sys" in the terminal would have been  
sufficient, if I'm not wrong.

I don't understand: do you have the fonts mtpro2 both in /usr/local/ 
texlive/2007 and in /Users/gray/Library/texmf??

Hum, I thought that the appropriate location for map files (if you  
want to install fonts in your personal library) is : /Users/gray/ 
Library/texmf/fonts/map.
