Hi Achim, thanks so much for getting back to me!

Wow, fontforge is incredible!  But I'm not sure how to get the
"PostScript" name.  "Glyph info" doesn't say anything interesting, so
here is the hover text.  I hope what you want is included.
8467 (0x2113) U+2113  "uni2113"  SCRIPT SMALL L
 = mathematical symbol 'ell'
 = liter (traditional symbol)
 * despite its character name, this symbol is derived from a special
italicized version of the small letter l
 * the SI recommended symbol for liter is 006C
 -> (mathematical script small l - 1D4C1)
 = <font> 006C latin small letter l

What specifically do you mean by "the encoding files?"  Do you mean:
  base-MinionPro-aX.enc?

Okay, I will try that, but I have to do it later since it needs to
compile.  Also, will this fix just the \ell, or will I need to
manually make similar modifications for all characters?

Speaking of that, assuming I only need to generate
base-MinionPro-aX.enc, is it necessary to run makeall twice, as in:
>>   $ ./scripts/makeall --nodotlessj
>>   $ ./scripts/generate-glyph-list.sh >./scripts/glyph-list-2.030
>>   $ ./scripts/makeall --verbose --nodotlessj 
>> --pack=./scripts/glyph-list-2.030
>> (previously there was a typo in the last line: "glyph-list.2.030")

I installed ed, so hopefully now the beautify-enc script will work.

Finally, must I worry about
"C:\cygwin\usr\local\src\MinionPro\fontinst\adjust-oml.mtx
! Missing number, treated as zero." or is this safe to ignore if I
only want the .enc files?

Thank you so much for your help!  After a while, I'll let you know
what happens with the recompile.
