[Fontinst] A bug in fontist 1.927?

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Trying to integrate TrueType fonts into TeX by converting them to 
PostScript via ttf2pt1 and fontinst I use fontsmpl.tex as a means to 
check my success. Now it happens that I see for monospaced fonts in OT1 
this for \l and \L and unusual settings for \textendash and \textemdash 
(Lucida Sans Typewriter @ 200%):

-------------- next part --------------
Skipped content of type multipart/appledouble-------------- next part --------------


I see the same when using a PostScript font, Adobe Courier. Here is 
another excerpt that shows that the \. and \H accents are wrong:

-------------- next part --------------
Skipped content of type multipart/appledouble-------------- next part --------------


And there is one more thing with monospaced fonts, the shape of quotes! 
Here is an example from Monotype's TrueType font Courier New T1 
encoded:

-------------- next part --------------
Skipped content of type multipart/appledouble-------------- next part --------------


and this is the corresponding piece of fontsmpl.tex OT1 encoded:

-------------- next part --------------
Skipped content of type multipart/appledouble-------------- next part --------------


Is TeX making mistakes? Is fontsmpl.tex incorrect? Or has fontinst 
1.927 a few bugs? Why is \textquotedbl empty? Isn't it the glyph in 
slot '042/"22? \textquotedblright does not exist. Or am I 
misunderstanding TeX's use of double quotes?
