Ahoi!
Hans, texfont seems to have a little bug:
If one installs TrueType fonts, it complains about missing pfb
(I can ignore that), but the map file maps only to pfb, not ttf.
My install-font script fixes that, but I suppose it's no
problem to fix that in texfont.
I didn't try OpenType yet, but guess the same problem.
And I'd suggest to let texfont write a sample typescript,
as my script does. (Then I could drop it.)
BTW: There's now a typescript for Microsoft's standard TT
fonts in my collection.

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.
