Things sound like you did not use updmap with the correct invocation.  
Given the fonts are installed in your home directory, and given you  
use gwTeX whose default is to create global map files system-wide  
(since by default gwTeX makes updmap equivalent to updmap-sys by  
setting GWTEXVAR to VARTEXMF in /usr/local/gwTeX/texmf.cnf), then I  
think the correct invocation is "sudo updmap-sys", yielding:

sudo updmap-sys --nomkmap --syncwithtrees
sudo updmap-sys --nomkmap --enable Map lucida.map
sudo updmap-sys --nomkmap --enable Map lucidabr-o.map
sudo updmap-sys --nomkmap --enable Map lumath-o.map
sudo updmap-sys

Since you have experimented a bit and may have created a malformed  
updmap.cfg file in the process, you may meet, after any of the above  
instruction, a message telling no map file has been recreated since  
updmap.cfg has not changed. This would arise for example when running

sudo updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map

and failing because updmap.cfg would include already the line  
(uncommented)

Map lucida.map

but for some reason this line would not have been taken into account  
when creating psfonts.map.

In that case, first run updmap with the disable option, to comment  
out the line

Map lucida.map

in updmap.cfg, and then enable the font again so that (1) updmap.cfg  
is updated and (2) the updated updmap.cfg is taken into account when  
creating immediately afterwards global map files such as psfonts.map.

In the above example that would mean:

sudo updmap-sys --disable lucida.map
sudo updmap-sys --enable Map lucida.map

Hope this helps,
