Now "!foo.pfb" will be treated by the inner pdftex workings as font with name "!foo.pfb" which is not found, obviously. So pdftex munges "!foo.pfb" and "foo.pfb" differently.
hm, i suggest to drop the ! (since we need the first char for +-=)
the ! has been in for long time, so shouldn't it stay there for backwards compatibility? Virtually nobody knows about the new !-less case as it's documented nowhere, so anybody wanting this no-load feature will use the ! sign. And the +-= go in front of the tfm names, not the fontfile names. So +-= doesn't collide with the ! anyway.
and stick t < and <<
It's in my suggested patch (does the same with and without !) but this can be left out if wanted. Regards, Hartmut
