font installation

[Bob Tennent]

You're using an obsolete 20-year old manual that doesn't even discuss otf?
 As I already suggested to you, you should use the autoinst script in the
fontools package.  That's what I've used to create support files for dozens
of opentype families. BTW, type1 font files have suffix pfb, not pdf.
