Hi Phil,
the TDS reserves a directory name "opentype" already for OpenType
fonts, a directory "otf" is not mentioned in the standard.

You can run

  texdoc TDS

in order to get the TDS.

Please note that kpathsea finds files according to the TDS by default.
Though it's possible to add "fonts/otf" to the OpenType search path in
texmf.cnf, I doubt that it's advisable.  IMO TeX Live is complex
enough already.

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
