Thank you Bill for all your comments and for putting up your original notes on the web. I (finally) have my type1 font installed... One down, 10 more to go.
It turns out one of the larger problems that I had was that the original font file is for the Mac (ClassicOS) and I am now using OS X. Of course, OS X still uses the HFS+ file system so it is fundamentally case insensitive. When I generated the .pfb and .tfm file from my Mac font suitcase, it spat out files with 'A Banshee' as the name. I immediately removed the 'A ' as having a space in the font filename broke most of the context perl scripts. However, I left the capital 'B' and ended up with Banshee.pfb, Banshee.afm, texnansi-Banshee.tfm, texnansi-raw-Banshee.tfm, and texnansi-adobe-banshee.map. I don't exactly understand why, but renaming the fonts to lowercase 'banshee' and re-running texfont seems to have fixed many of the problems I was having. Thanks again for all your help Bill!
