[Fontinst] can't follow Lehman tutorial

[Philipp Lehman]

Mick,

I just copied your drivers and ran them through Tex, but I can't 
reproduce your problem. It all works as expected. A few remarks:

> The first stage of his tutorial suggests running a file like

>
>   \input fontinst.sty
>   \needsfontinstversion{1.926}
>   \recordtransforms{pac-rec.tex}
>   \latinfamily{pac}{}
>   \endrecordtransforms
>   \bye

For the list: this file is called pac-drv.tex in the tutorial.

> \bye

And that's pac-map.tex. Both files are fine.

Multiple lines with \makemapentry for the same font are perfectly 
normal, but pac-rec.tex is missing the instructions concerning the 
actual data. The file should contain something like this:

\storemapdata{pacr8a}{\fromafm{pacr8a}{ACaslon-Regular}}{}
\storemapdata{pacr8r}{\frommtx{pacr8a}}{\reencodefont{8r}}
\makemapentry{pacr8r}
\makemapentry{pacr8r}
\storemapdata{pacrc8a}{\fromafm{pacrc8a}{ACaslon-RegularSC}}{}
\storemapdata{pacrc8r}{\frommtx{pacrc8a}}{\reencodefont{8r}}
\makemapentry{pacrc8r}
\makemapentry{pacrc8r}

Apparently, something went wrong while processing pac-drv.tex. Unless 
this rings a bell with Lars, the next step would be checking 
pac-drv.log for warnings.
