[texhax] Installing new TTF fonts:problems

[vittorio]

I have been given some proprietary fttf fonts by my company to be installed 
and used under windows.
I would like to install these Helvetica neue ttf fonts under freebsd 6.1 to be 
used with latex, mainly with PDFlatex (Version 3.141592 (Web2C 7.5.4)).

I have found many, perhaps too many and somewhat misleading, articles in the 
net and under /usr/local/share/texmf-dist directories such as fontinst with 
the relating manual and fonts/fontname.

In spite of my readings it seems that many important files are missing in 
the "complete" tetex under fbsd.

For instance I cannot find the T1-WGL4.enc file to be used with ttf2afm; I 
can't find the ttf2tfm & ttf2pk commands. Besides I have many a perplexity on 
how to use the fontinst procedure tailored in this (wrong) way, after having 
produce the afm files with the T1-WGL4.enc file of miktex:

% basicex.tex
% 

\input fontinst.sty
\transformfont{phnm8r}{\reencodefont{8r}{\fromafm{phnm8a}}}
\transformfont{phnb8r}{\reencodefont{8r}{\fromafm{phnb8a}}}
\transformfont{phnri8r}{\reencodefont{8r}{\fromafm{phnri8a}}}
\transformfont{phnbi8r}{\reencodefont{8r}{\fromafm{phnbi8a}}}

\installfonts
\installfamily{T1}{phn}{\hyphenchar\font=-1}
  \installrawfont {phnm8r}{phnm8r,latin}{t1}{T1}{phn}{m}{n}{}
  \installrawfont {phnb8r}{phnb8r,latin}{t1}{T1}{phn}{b}{n}{}
  \installrawfont {phnri8r}{phnri8r,latin}{t1}{T1}{phn}{m}{it}{}
  \installrawfont {phnbi8r}{phnbi8r,latin}{t1}{T1}{phn}{b}{it}{}
\endinstallfonts

\bye

===============================================================

After installing everything  and issuing 

a
\fontfamily{phn}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n}\fontsize{12}{15}
\selectfont

in a test tex file I get an unreadable pdf file from pdflatex with the 
following diagnostic
............................Warning: pdflatex (file phnm8r): Font phnm8r at 
720 not found

And latex test.tex gives

Please help suggesting the "latest" correct procedure
