After playing a bit with TeXfont I figured out that it is pretty hopeless to try to use TeXfont under windows (esp. under MikTeX) until some code portions get fixed. You can replace single quotes by double quotes in line 900 of TeXfont, but that won't lead you much further. There are problems with slashes/backslashes as well (the developers use linux & mac and probably nobody ever checked the functionality under windows besides the fact that I had problems with otftotfm alone). In the mean time, it's perhaps possible to use linux to make font metrics/map files and copy them to windows partition again or to manually call the otftotfm program and make a map file by yourself.
