Hi Folks

I'm doing an install of Adobe Caslon at the moment, and trying to 
install the ornaments in the font. There are quite a number of them so 
i decided to put them in a separate virtual font. They don't need 
reencoding, but I'm not sure how the fontinst file should go. Here is 
what I have:

\input fontinst.sty

\installfonts

\installfont{pacp7t}{pacp8r}{ot1}{OT1}{pac}{m}{orn}{}

\installfont{pacp8t}{pacp8r}{t1}{T1}{pac}{m}{orn}{}

\endinstallfonts

\bye

My question is: are the encoding vectors, ot1 and t1, needed here? Do 
they do anything at all?

Also, I guess: is there a better way of going about this in general? I 
don't need to put the ornaments in with the standard roman glyphs.

TIA for your help
