In my experience, you have to get the coordination between pfb and tfm
exactly right. Things are case sensitive etc... I'm sure there's just a
typo or mismatch somewhere

Better to put them in texmf-local or, even better, texmf-project (may have
to edit setuptex.bat in that case). I NEVER install anything in texmf if I
can help it.
See also the MyWay I wrote on this topic, maybe something in there will
help.
Best wishes
