Yes, it did!

I removed the package and reinstalled once again without
success.

updmap.cfg was empty

I added these entries in updmap.cfg and refreshed the
databases but even this  did not work!

I agree with you, but yesterday night I removed MikTeX from
my home computer (that had also the same problem) and all
run OK, so I am planning to do the same at work. It seems
that during the updates MikTeX wizard left something wrong
in my texmf or localtexmf directories and the easiest way to
solve the problem is the "bad habbit". I saw that since  the
first time I installed urwstd package, MikTeX changed the
distribution of the files in the texmf tree (I found empty
directories related to those fonts). Maybe something
remained wrong, but I have no clue what was.

Anyway, thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Agustin
