That's the unfortunate situation with non-sys updmap. As I see it, you
have three options:
1) follow the canonical way and put your fonts and maps in texmf-
local, like you, Voisin and Dyballa, among others, advise, and use
sudo -H updmap-sys
2) learn how to manage a web2c directory in ~/Library/texmf or
~/.texlive200x, like Gary Gray does;
3) or follow the non-canonical way to put your personal fonts and maps
in ~/Library/texmf/fonts... but *always* use the ``sudo <command>-sys
for *everything* (sudo updmap-sys, sudo texconfig-sys...), which has
worked fine for me.
Definitely, I would remove any web2c directory in ~/Library/texmf and
~/.texliveXXXX and start with
sudo updmap-sys --syncwithtrees
Best,
Axel
