It is better not to use updmap if you are permitted to use updmap-sys.
By updmap-sys you create system-wide configuration, updmap creates
configuration for a curent user. User's configuration takes precedence
and may differ from the system-wide configuration. Now if you add
another map by updmap-sys only, it might not work unless you add it to
your configuration by updmap too (but I am not sure).
