I don't know. I don't even know what an otf font file is. > I understand (roughly) how the metafont stuff works, but > the JazzChord font is otf.

So obviously you need to 1. look at the otf-reading code to see how it loads stuff 2. figure out how to distribute an otf file by adding it to git and then figuring out how to make the build system include it in the data 3. maybe not do anything in GUB after all Estimated frog time: 20 hours.
