It seems to me that there are errors in lgrlmr.fd that point to non-existent tfms. Two lines I noticed have obvious errors.

[line88]     {<-5.5>    grxn0500      <5.5-6.5> grx0600

should be

 {<-5.5>    grxn0500      <5.5-6.5> grxn0600

and 

[line93]     {<-5.5>    gmxn0500      <5.5-6.5> gmx0600

should be

{<-5.5>    gmxn0500      <5.5-6.5> gmxn0600

Make those fixes in a copy of lgrlmr.fd that is placed in ~/Library/tex/latex so that it is found before the incorrect distributed version.
