Yes, that is precisely what it looks like when fontinst was unable to find
(or fake) the requested glyph during font installation.

The problem is that the set of fonts in this variant doesn't quite match
the ones that the \latinfamily command was constructed for, as there are no
Expert fonts from which the OSF can be picked.

You could try using xfntinst.sty instead---that contains some variant code
which was intended for cases like this. If that doesn't work then you'll
have to use the \installfont command to make the fonts, which shouldn't be
too hard as the main reason \latinfamily fails is that it isn't looking for
the fonts you have.
