Hello Idris,
with this command, I get the following error (I'm using teTeX-3.0):
processing aborted : unknown tex root

Then I tried
texfont --fontroot=/opt/teTeX/texmf-dist/fonts --ma --in --ve=urw
--co=garamond --show

This produces the following error:
(/opt/teTeX/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/s-fnt-01.tex)
kpathsea: Running mktextfm texnansi-ugmm8a
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfzzz; mag:=1;
nonstopmode; input texnansi-ugmm8a
This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4)

kpathsea: Running mktexmf texnansi-ugmm8a
! I can't find file `texnansi-ugmm8a'.

So I tried step 4:

I installed this mapfile in /opt/teTeX/texmf-dist/fonts/map/pdftex/context

I suppose, you mean \pdfmapfile

Neither of these 3 possibilities work, I get always the same error with
your test file:
(/opt/teTeX/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/type-akb.tex) (./type-ugm.tex)
kpathsea: Running mktextfm texnansi-ugmr8a
mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=mf \mode:=ljfzzz; mag:=1;
nonstopmode; input texnansi-ugmr8a
This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.4)

kpathsea: Running mktexmf texnansi-ugmr8a
! I can't find file `texnansi-ugmr8a'.

Perhaps I have to rename the tfm files?

No problem with LaTeX:
\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{ugm}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\begin{document}
\input knuth
\end{document}

Do you have any idea, what could be wrong on my system?

TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter
