Xdv2pdf does not use a MAP file. It asks the operating system to  
deliver the requested font. These fonts you can see in Font Book («  
Livre des polices »). The font's name is given in the source  
document, it has to match what Font Book tells (⌘-I).

If you'd ask the question the other way round, then there is a clear  
answer: put the PostScript Type 1 fonts of the MusixTeX distribution  
as a copy also into the /Library/Fonts directory. It might be cleaner  
to create a folder PostScript inside /Library/Fonts.

Of course your original question has an answer: you'd need to  
configure fontconfig to see the same directories with fonts as Mac OS  
X sees. The configuration files are /etc/fonts/fonts.conf or  
~/.fonts.conf. I think this is done by default.

Here is a mapping file used that maps PostScript glyph names (Adobe  
Glyph Names, to be exact) to Unicode character positions.

Xdvipdfmx seems to find in the MAP file a mapping of the TeX font  
name musix13 to a file name musix13. Extension unknown, most probably  
``.pfb´´.

It seems that musix13 PostScript font file is of Type 1 and that the  
PostScript font has the name TeXMUSIX13-Regular. Supposedly the  
family name is TeXMUSIX13. Font Book will reveal this.

Which mapping system, that of pdfTeX, dvips, or dvipdfm (xdvipdfmx),  
do you mean?
