If so simply running `updmap-user` (NO `sudo`) will add your personal fonts to your personal map file which will be located in ~/Library/texlive/2020/texmf-var/web2c.

NOTE: that personal map will NOT be updated automatically when there are updates to the TeX system fonts; once TLU/tlmgr is back up make sure you have `Automatically enable fonts in my home directory' checked in TeX Live Utility->Preferences.

Yes, I have ~/Library/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg.

OK, first I checked:

	    [~]$ updmap-user --version
	updmap version r51338 (2019-06-07 18:36:59 +0200)

Next, I used TLU to change the default distro to TL 2020 and quit TLU.

That seems to have done the proper thing, because when I navigate in Finder to /Library/TeX/texbin, the link takes me to: 
/usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-darwin

However, now _still_:

	   [~]$ updmap-user --version
	updmap version r51338 (2019-06-07 18:36:59 +0200)

But, when I get into (Cmd-I) on /usr/local/texlive/2020/bin/x86_64-darwin/updmap-user
However, it shows: 

	# $Id: updmap-user.sh 51911 2019-08-19 20:59:22Z

So won't executing at the command line just update the 2019 font info rather than the 2020 font info?

Or at the command-line should I explicitly invoke the new script:

/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/updmap-user.sh
