possibly severe bug in fontinst 1.914

[Walter Schmidt]

Lars,

thank you very mich for the explanations.  It works fine now!

As to the wrong standalone use of the \fromafm command:
When I started to learn fontinst, I tried to understand
the "official" examples, for instance 

  CTAN:fonts/utilities/fontinst/examples/mathptm/fontptcm.tex

which actually uses \fromafm directly!

The script is easy to undertand, well documented, and the 
name of the \fromafm command expresses clearly what goes on.
How can a beginer know that this is not correct?

BTW:  
Can the standalone use of \fromafm (with v1.801, of course)
break anything?
