Running updmap-user fixed things with my local fonts for the TL2020 pre-test.

I _DO_ understand that TLU won’t update anything before official release!  And I do know about the TUL Preferences to Automatically enable fonts in my home director. But that only has effect when a package update is actually done. (I had hoped that the latter “gotcha” would be remedied in TLU, so that one does not need to do the updmap-user manually, even when no packages are updated. I’ve had the same issue before, when I would install some new fonts locally even after a new TL release but there were no package updates available yet.)
