What are you looking for: eurofont.map or grverb.map?
Please use rather: kpsewhich -format="dvips config" grverb.map
(see tldoc.pdf)

No, that's only an old behaviour that fontname/ is first searched.
Will be changed anyway in future.

Hope that you've read the answers from 05 Feb... 
1. Put your dstroke.map (from CTAN) into texmf\dvips\doublestroke\
(sorry for not including that on TL!)
2. mktexlsr
3. edit your ...\texmf-var\web2c\updmap.cfg and add the line:
MixedMap dstroke.map
4. updmap

Please just follow the above. Do not add map files to pdftex.map, etc.
Using updmap is better, since it regenerates all global map files which
*are* used for dvips, pdftex and dvipdfm. Just to remember that you should
edit updmap.cfg in texmf-var\web2c\ (on Windows), as it is first searched.
