you need to create FD files, e.g. t1mgs.fd and ot1mgs.fd which will
make the fonts known to latex. also note that you described the fonts
in the map file as having T1 encoding, while you tried to use them in
your latex file in OT1 encoding. so either you have to create
(virtual) fonts for OT1 encoding too, or use the fonts only with
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
