Hi!, which version of texfont are you using?
I think 1.8 should handle the ttf extension in the map files better than
previous version--in my OpenType explorations, it seemed to me that that
was the biggest issue in TrueType support. AFAIK, it should work, except
where you have files named both BLAH_.TTF and BLAH___.TTF.

I would definitely support the automatic creation of typescripts.
