Then you should know that MTX (not .mtw), VPL, and PL files are only
temporary: the exist at some stage can then be removed. The best one
say about all these files and the MAP file fragments: they're
strictly algorithmic, i.e. it's easy to write a script that does all
the work automatically. For example:
#!/bin/csh -f

# @(#) Inst2.csh -*- coding: iso-8859-15; -*-

I try not to use commercial fonts, so I only have one that uses real
small caps: Cardo. And I decided not to follow completely the Font
Installation Guide. It also has only one variant, yet ...

Walter Schmidt created a garamond package for urw++'s free Garamond
font, ugm (contributed to Ghostscript): /CTAN:nonfree/fonts/urw/
garamond. Paul Pichaurau has created mathdesign packages with
(commercial) Garamond.

It is possible. Even on an MS Losedows PC you can find some sane
software.

When in doubt, use brute force.
