This worked for me when I had a similar error.

Simply navigate to your miktex bin directory and execute the commands below:

e.g. c:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.9\miktex\bin\
initexmf --mkmaps
initexmf --update-fndb

as described in: https://www.dev-eth0.de/blog/2016/11/13/latex_miktex-makepk-pk-font-umvs-could-not-be-created.html

The second command is properly initexmf --update-fndb Other than that, this is a perfect answer to this problem. – SteelAngel Jan 23 '15 at 03:04
I required adding --admin to the commands, after initexmf – user5155835 Apr 07 '18 at 13:56

This may be due to MiKTeX not having the map file activated.

Try adding the following to your document's preamble and see if it generates:

\usepackage{sansmathaccent}
\pdfmapfile{+sansmathaccent.map}

If it works, then you should update MiKTeX's font maps.
