Ahoi!
I discovered a little problem while installing fonts:
Actual Linotype AFMs contain overlong lines (copyright information), about 450
characters.
That confuses texfont, so that the following lines are not recognized.
It helps to delete these lines manually, but would it be possible to enhance
texfont to handle such nasties?

i assume that it confuses afmtotfm and alike, so it may be better to patch
these files, can you check that, and if so, we can ask the maintainers to
increase the buffer

As I wrote: It helps to delete this (mostly 2) lines.
Could texfont perhaps check the AFM files and cut overlong lines?
