Unfortunately the Ruby scripts for generating the the metric files do not work
for me. I have therefore used a the following command for testing:
ralf at barra:~/devel/gentium-tug/gentium/source/fonts/gentium-tug$
afm2pl -p ../../../fonts/enc/dvips/gentium-tug/gentium-lgr.enc \
-l lig/gentium-lgr.lig \
../../../fonts/afm/public/gentium-tug/GentiumPlus-R.afm \
&& pltotf GentiumPlus-R && tftopl GentiumPlus-R GentiumPlus-R \
&& diff -u lgr-gentiumplus-regular.pl GentiumPlus-R.pl
The final diff compares with lgr-gentiumplus-regular.pl generated from current
lgr-gentiumplus-regular.tfm. The round-trip pl -> tfm -> pl seems necessary to
get the same units etc.
I have tested with the following patch:
ralf at barra:~/devel/gentium-tug/gentium/source/fonts/gentium-tug$ svn diff

The 0 -> cwm change is the crucial one to make the boundary character work.
The three additional lines with ligatures provide all the other
missing ligatures
present in grmn1000.tfm. I am not sure if those should be included. They are
also missing in the LGR metrics for GFS Didot.
Here the diff of the pl files:

A brief test with the resulting TFM was successful.
