Problem with lettergothic package in LaTeX/TeXLive

Question

I'm trying to use the lettergothic package in LaTeX for the Letter Gothic monospaced font. According to the LaTeX Font Catalog, it would be simple to use it with

\usepackage[scaled]{ulgothic}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

but, for some reason it does not work. After compiling (with pdflatex) I get this message (the last lines):

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+12/600 --dpi 612 ulgb8rmktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ulgb8r.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

!pdfTeX error: pdflatex (file ulgb8r): Font ulgb8r at 612 not found
 ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

LaTeX exited abnormally with code 70 at Wed Aug 15 00:46:57

I can't understand why this is happening since I have all the files installed on my system. I've installed all nonfree fonts (which Letter Gothic belongs) with

$ sudo getnonfreefonts-sys -a

and sudo updmap-sys and sudo texhash. All the files are where they were supposed to be.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 with texlive and with both texlive-fonts-recommended and texlive-fonts-extra

The location path for the files are (summarizing):

$ sudo find / -iname ulg*
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/ulg/ulgothic.sty
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/vf/urw/lettrgth/ulgb*.vf
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/afm/urw/lettergothic/ulgb*.afm
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/ulg/ulg.map
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/tfm/urw/lettrgth/ulgb*.tfm
/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/lettergothic/ulgb*.pfb

The path for pdftex.map is

$ kpsewhich pdftex.map
/var/lib/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/pdftex.map
