(1) The first field in this line:
ec-raw-phvb Arial-BoldMT 4 < phvb8a.pfb ec.enc
and the second parameter in this line:
\definefontsynonym[Helvetica][phvr][encoding=ec]
must be the same. That is, both should be either "ec-raw-phvb" or
"phvr". Same for the three other font files.
(2) Remember: \loadmapfile will not work unless the
\autoloadmapfilestrue line is uncommented in cont-sys.tex.
(3) Remember: after moving files or creating new ones you have to run
texhash (= mktexlsr).
(4) Suggestion: you might put the .afm and .pfb files of interest into a
temporary directory and run texfont on them, just as if you were
installing a new commercial font. It will create the .tfm and .vf files
in the proper location, a .map file, and a test .tex job.
In my experimenting, I have found it an error to reference the raw files
directly. The fonts mostly work but are missing important features. It
is better to use the virtual fonts that texfont creates.
