Yes, but noy , I did with TeXLive7 on MacOSX, at least, which is a
superset of GW's distro.

The key thing for me (perhaps obvious to others) was making sure the
source font tree was in the same place as the destination tree, so...

  cd texmf/fonts/afm
  sudo mv bit bitstrea
  cd ../../..
  cp -R texmf/fonts/afm texmf/fonts/tfm texmf-local/fonts
  cp -R texmf/fonts/type1 texmf/fonts/vf texmf-local/fonts
  cd ~/Documents/temp
  texfont /usr/local/teTeX/texmf/context/data/type-tmf.dat --en=texnansi
         --fontroot=/usr/local/teTeX/texmf-local --install --makepath

Re-reading your email, I'm not sure that'll be exactly what you need, but
it's what I learned, at least.

>c - Did you experience the same EC.enc vs ec.enc naming problem?

I used the Hans-suggested texnansi encoding, which may have helped. I did
a diff between GW/tetex2.0's new EC.enc and the older ec.enc. Just one
line different:
  diff texmf/dvips/base/ec.enc share/texmf/dvips/base/EC.enc
67c67

I compiled the teTeX binaries myself and overlaid them on top of my
TeXLive tree. Only my MP graph problems so far suggest it might not have
been the best idea. :) I haven't dealt with the rest of the teTeX 2.0
tree, yet.
