It should be a regular teTeX installation, as I followed the
instructions from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation.

I installed teTeX using --prefix=$HOME/Local/teTeX in the
configuration phase. The correct executables seem to be found.

[~/antykwa] which texfont texexec otftotfm
/Users/Emil/local/tetex/bin/texfont
/Users/Emil/local/tetex/bin/texexec
/Users/Emil/local/bin/otftotfm

I downloaded them a few day ago from the page suggested in the
article.

I have tested otftotfm, and it seems to work:
