I guess you mean pdftex.map.

I don't think Windows TeXLive is *so much* different than Linux or  
Mac OS TeXLive. We *never* copy the text of a font.map file and paste  
it into pdftex or dvips maps. That is updmap job. You have to put the  
lucida.map where updmap can find it, then run

sudo mktexlsr [I don't know the equivalent of sudo in Windows or if  
it's used at all]

and then updmap.

Again ---is Windows that different? We would  run

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=lucida.map

The other way around ---the databases have to be rebuilt *before*  
running updmap. So the order is 1) put the map file where updmap can  
find it, 2) rebuild the databases so updmap *actually* finds it and  
then 3) run updmap-sys [is -sys also used in Windows? I don't know].

I would advise to revert the file you modified by hand to its  
original state and start over in the order above. But then again ---I  
don't know anything about Windows. I think there should be  
documentation for your system in your distribution.
