I gave up once that I tried to follow because lcdftools which texfont uses don't work well on Windows.

You don't need lcdftools at all; in fact, I now avoid it for most installs. I find the easiest route is: 1. create an afm with "fontforge -c 'Open($1);Generate($2)' foo.otf foo.afm" 2. create a pl file with "afm2pl -p ENCODING.enc foo.afm ENCODING- foo.pl" (you'll need the file default.lig for this to work and modify it if need be); this step will also write an (incorrect) map file which you can edit; 3. pltotf ENCODING-foo.pl I prefer this approach because it's more transparent than lcdftools.
