Installation of Fonts in Miktex

I have several Type1 fonts which need to be installed such that LaTeX knows about them. To achive this under Miktex you have to follow these steps:

1. Setup you localtexmf tree with the fonts or copy your localtexmf tree from a different installation into the corresponding Miktex directory.
2. Run initexmf --edit-config-file updmap. That will open an editor.
3. Insert in that file all map files in the following form:

   Map xyz.map

   Save the file afterwards.
4. Run initexmf --mkmaps to rebuild the font map files.

   What do you do if the fonts didn’t come with a “.map” file? (I have a font with only “.afm”, “.pfb” and “.pfm” files.)

   Well, should either generate the files yourself or rely on the files generated by font experts. For example have a look at
