I don't think it is a good idea to manually change pdftex.map
I have
WebOMintsGD WebOMintsGD <WebOMintsGD.pfb
in webo.map, which is located in
texmf-local/fonts/map/dvips/webomints
ran texhash to make sure webo.map can be found, aka
kpsewhich webo.map
then enabled it
updmap-sys --enable Map webo.map
I use it via
\newcommand{\wb}[2]{\fontsize{#1}{#2}\usefont{U}{webo}{xl}{n}}
\wb{36bp}{36bp}
