small errors in texfont.pl

[Uwe Koloska]

Hello,

texfont doesn't work well on unix cause there are some pathnames that are 
converted to lowercase.  Since the default path for texlive is /opt/TeX 
this is a very bad behaviour ...

Here is a patch that makes it work for me.  Since I'm no Perl expert I 
can't solve a last problem:

While processing type-tmf.dat each font yells about:
  missing pfb file : utmri8a.pfb

but the file is there:
  kpsewhich utmri8a.pfb
  > /opt/TeX/texmf/fonts/type1/urw/times/utmri8a.pfb

I have started texfont in /opt/TeX/texmf-fonts.

But the installed tfm and vf files work o.k.

Uwe

hm, my version only lc's the names of vendor, encoding and collection; it 
does show the lc version of the fontroot at the terminal (looks nicer on 
windows) but internally it uses the system provided one.
