I am using texlive2015 on Ubuntu 14.04. The distro is owned by root and I have to use sudo for such things as updmap. [I have another computer where I changed ownership to me, but the following problems are similar there.] I am using pdftex with dvi output, which I then convert to pdf via dvipdfmx. (This is for historical reasons: I started work on this 700-page book 20 years ago. It is (e)plain tex with lots of my own macros and 100 eps figures.) I now want to enable font expansion (this is the reason for using pdftex, besides character protrusion.) However, I cannot reliably get the new fonts to work, especially if I use more than one font. Here is a simple example.
pdfoutput=0
fonttenrm=ntx-Regular-tlf-ot1
fonttenit=ntx-Italic-tlf-ot1
hsize=5truein
tenrm
pdffontexpandtenrm 20 20 5
pdffontexpandtenit 20 20 5
pdfadjustspacing=2
Our {it major topics} include random walks and their intimate connection to
electrical networks; uniform spanning trees, their limiting forests, and
their marvelous relationships with random walks and electrical networks;
branching processes; percolation and the powerful, elegant mass-transport
technique; isoperimetric inequalities and how they relate to both random
walks and percolation; minimal spanning trees and forests, and their
connections to percolation; Hausdorff dimension, capacity, and how to
understand them via trees; and random walks on Galton-Watson trees.
Connections among our topics are pervasive and rich, making for surprising
and enjoyable proofs.

I followed the instructions at How do I make expanded fonts and install them?, but they did not ever work fully. I have the above file in the same directory as the map file and the new fonts. I cannot get xdvi to work properly, even with only the roman fonts here. The error includes

Output file removed.
If I run dvipdfmx -f newtx-ext.map, then I will get output. However, the italics cause distortions in spacing and scaling (more evident in a longer file, especially with ntxmi math font unexpanded mixed in):
Similarly, if I use only italics, the pdf is fine, but if I mix rm, then I will get similar distortions. In addition, if I expand only tenrm, not tenit, then the results are similarly poor. dvips fails to find the correct fonts, but dvips -u+newtx-ext.map produces perfect output:
However, I need a suitable dvi file in order to use dvipdfmx (for a proper pdf file with my book, not with this test file).
kpsewhich ntx-Regular-tlf-ot1+20.tfm reports ./ntx-Regular-tlf-ot1+20.tfm, kpsewhich ntx-Italic-tlf-ot1+20.tfm reports ./ntx-Italic-tlf-ot1+20.tfm and kpsewhich newtx-ext.map reports ./newtx-ext.map.

updmap: Updating ls-R files.
I really hope someone can help me. I have spent many frustrating hours over the last month on this, but I can see that if I get it to work, it will be worthwhile. Thank you!
Edit:
After cleaning the results of update (without -sys), I ran sudo updmap-sys --enable Map=newtx-ext.map; that did very little, so I ran sudo updmap-sys --force --enable Map=newtx-ext.map. It gave the same results as above, with the following exceptions: The first line was updmap: resetting $HOME value (was /home/rdlyons) to root's actual home (/root). and the end was

updmap: Updating ls-R files.
So I moved that directory /root/.texmf-var/fonts/map and then that last problem disappeared. However, nothing was fixed: the exact same problems occur.
