I have written otfinstall after I have played around with texfont. texfont is much more versatile then otfinstall, but I think that otfinstall is faster, easier to use and writes all necessary files. But since I never felt like reading the texfont documentation, I might be completely wrong about my assumptions on texfont. > Why should I use otfinstall instead of texfont, besides the fact that > texfont doesn't work? Is texfont incomplete? Or am I doing something > wrong? What are the advantages/downsides of both? They are just two different tools for a similar purpose. Nothing wrong with each of them. There is not much to add to what Arthur said. If you need any specific help on otfinstall, I'd be glad to assist you (and update the documentation as well).
