There seems to have been an error in making the TeXLive update script. To fix the problem, edit 

/usr/local/texlive/2014/texmf-dist/web2c/updmap.cfg

using an authenticating editor like BBEdit or TextWrangler (not the versions from the App store) to remove the line

Map lthtlwg.enc

save the result, then run in a Terminal window

sudo -H updmap-sys
