Ok.

hmm, up to now i never heard from MFTI and also Google didn't found any 
concerning results. Therefore i'm quit unsure if i can really help you 
with your problem, but...

... you're right that MiKTeX stopped the direct support of the 
localtexmf-directory. But its still rather easy to reconstruct. For 
example, just create a directory c:\localtexmf on your system and copy 
any data structure you need inside of it (like you are used from former 
MiKTeX-versions).

Open 'MiKTeX 2.9' -> 'Maintenance' -> 'MiKTeX Settings' and add the new 
localtexmf-directory via the 'Roots'-tab.

hmm, if your original problem is to use TrueType-Fonts with TeX 
(regardless if you mean La- or PlainTeX), you should consider to use 
XeTeX as alternative.

While XeTeX has the ability to use Open-/TrueType-Fonts systemwide 
installed, it might be easier to use, compared to these ttf2afm-converters.

Good luck - Thomas
