The problem is really in the font installation script (type-tmf.dat). There the root (i.e. the source tree for the fonts) is explicitly given as TEXMFMAIN. And this does not work in gwTeX, because if something is given, it has to be TEXMFTE.
Just for my understanding. Does texfont.pl only read in TEXMFMAIN or does it also write (can it be a search path or does it require for TEXMFMAIN to be just one directory)?
My understanding is that you can enter a comma-separated list of trees. The default is "TEXMFFONTS,TEXMFLOCAL,TEXMFEXTRA,TEXMFMAIN". That suggests to me that the --ro=TEXMFMAIN defaults in the type-tmf.dat file probably should go away, as 1) they get in the way of over-rides at the CLI, and 2) it's covered by the current default, anyway. adam % texfont --help TeXFont 2.2.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 2000-2004 --fontroot=path : texmf destination font root (default: /usr/local/tetex/share/texmf.local) --rootlist=paths : texmf source roots (default: TEXMFFONTS,TEXMFLOCAL,TEXMFEXTRA,TEXMFMAIN) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
