Oh you don't need to reinstall your fonts! The TeX font files already a complete mess in an average TeX distribution. No need to increase this mess.
But how do you then generate the virtual fonts, or is there some trick in the map files to reencode on the fly?
For the basic fonts: they are shipped with the TeX system. For the additional fonts: fontinst (I don't like it very much) afm2tfm (don't rename your files). There are others out there. Siep has once written a replacement for afm2tfm (which I still have to test) and there is autofont.
But at some point the ec.enc file must be read...
Only when creating vf's. Patrick
