Ah! I see. So if you say (for example):
\latinfamily{pck9}{}
will fontinst build a set of vpls using oldstyle numerals? And if so, what
will the name of the fount family be in this case and the previous one? Is
the addition of `9' or `x' just used as a control flag without being
reflected in the final (fd file or vpl/pl file) fount names?
And does this work with the \installfonts command?
Thanks,
Rowland.
