Small progress report: I have modified the JIS katakana in wadalab gothic font as a test, and output .tfm and .pfb successfully from fontforge, and gotten latex and dvips to reconize the modified characters.
I am still figuring out the Werners scripts to do the conversion of font metrics to unicode, and also still have to check out Danai's subfont scripts. Surprisingly, much as I had heard great things about FontLab, the version I could install (5.0.0) did not have (or I could not find) a horizontal scaling function, whereas fontforge does. Still, FontLab has a much nicer presentation (using Windows TTFs under wine) whereas fontforge comes up with ugly ugly bitmap fonts.
