I thought the `canonical' setting for a format-specific TEXINPUTS was:
.:$TEXMF/tex/$FORMAT//:$TEXMF/tex//
It's entertaining to see that fontinst has caused the afm directory to
get into the default TEXINPUTS path! Personally I think I'd leave it
out, since people running fontinst are expected to know what they're
doing (spot my attitude to software). Alternatively, you could have a
`fontinst' shell script which sets TEXINPUTS to:
.:$TEXMF/tex/fontinst//:$TEXMF/tex//:$TEXMF/fonts/afm//:$TEXMF/fonts/pl//:
before running `tex fontinst.sty'.
