When upgrading from one version of TexLive to another, you should update your font maps. With MacTex 2012 :
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg files (in precedence order):
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg
updmap is using the following updmap.cfg file for writing changes:
/usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf-config/web2c/updmap.cfg
Thus, you know which file you should edit to add new fonts. Once you edit your updmap.cfg file (adding all fonts you need), just invoke
sudo updmap-sys
and everything should be fine again.
Note that invoking :
sudo updmap-sys --syncwithtrees
indicates which map files can't be found (if any); you can then fix a failed invocation to updmap by removing references to such map files in updmap.cfg.
