Sorry, that should've been ``.vpl''
It also wasn't where I'd said it would be---it was on my old Portfolio
page,
http://members.aol.com/willadams/prtflio.htm
Here're links to the two files:
http://members.aol.com/willadams/tex/padr9alt.vp
http://members.aol.com/willadams/tex/padi9alt.vp
and here's the map file.
You'll still need to process the (renamed) .afms w/ FontInst (but
you've done that, right?) and you should check to see if my font
versions match yours---probably best just to use the above as a
template.
The .vpl file format is documented in Dr. Knuth's ``Virtual Fonts: More
fun for grand wizards'' file (which is re-published in his _Digital
Typography_). Using Alan Hoenig's book will probably help a lot
though---well worth buying, or get it from a library.

I would suggest that you purchase a ``sidegrade'' to the PC version,
that way you know you'll get files which will work.
Also, Philipp Lehman's font installation guide is very good, and I
think has been updated to handle swash fonts, it's listed at
