[Fontinst] Omitting glyph \reencodefont

    Hi folks,

I would like to use fontinst to install Adobe's MinionPro Opticals.  This 
family of fonts comes in OpenType format, so I converted it to pairs of 
PFB/AFM using pfaedit.  The size of the AFMs is *huge* (about 12 MB per 
font), as there is a humongous number of kern pairs.  When I try to 
reencode the fonts to, say, 8r, TeX dies on me with memory exhaustion in 
my normal setup.  (To overcome this, I quintupled the main_memory, and had 
to fiddle with the save size as well.)

Now my fontinst question: When I look at the mtx files produced from the 
AFMs, I was rather surprised to see all the glyphs not part of 8r to be 
still present as \setrawnoglyphs.  Is there any way of telling fontinst 
not to include glyphs not found in the encoding into the mtx?

    Cheers,
    Marco
