Hi,


    I have .pfb and .afm files in the texmf tree. Is it possible to
use them in MKIV without having to generate .tfm, .vf, .enc, .map
files.

Thanks

yes, as mkiv directly uses the afm/pfb files

nowadays i put such fonts in:

texmf-fonts/fonts/data/vendor/*

instead of the many paths; don't forget to run "luatools --generate" 
after installation; the data path is configured already in the minimals

you access such fonts by filename or fontname and they can have > 255 
characters; no encoding, just simulated unicode
