how about this: rename (or symlink) the ttc font to ttf, and document this trick in the manual. The way it works is more or less the same, but we don't have to change anything in the sources.
I can see that renaming would work, but that would prevent the .ttc font from working in other applications that require and expect a .ttc, but wouldn't symbolic linking cause a problem in that it would then find /two/ fonts, one .ttc and one .ttf, the former of which it would treat as type-1 and the latter as truetype ?!
pdftex would look only for what is specified in map files. But I do also agree that this causes more confusion than simply applying the patch. Regards, Thanh
