I created the table as suggested above and in the file names.tma appears a
line line like:

  ["caliban"]={ "ttf", "Caliban", "Caliban.ttf",  false },

I thought one might use 

\font\test=caliban at 12pt

but this fails:  

     Font \test=caliban at 12pt not loadable: metric data not found or bad.


Now I remove the data base, and also the files 

   Caliban.tma
   Caliban.tmc

and define 

\font\test=Caliban at 12pt 

This works, provided that OSFONTDIR is well-defined in the shell.

Thank you.  eythan
