What i normally do is something:

   mkdir e:\myfonts\lino\syntax

   chdir that dir

   copy flopies to that dir

and then run texfont

   texfont --vend=linotype --coll=lsyntax --make --install --enc=texnansi

spaces in path names are a bad idea !

here i have a texmffonts=e:/tex/texmf-fonts path
