This includes copying the existing .otf files into a temporary directory and using the convert.sh script to produce the Type1 fonts (with lcdf doing the work). The conversion did give some warning messages about alternate ways of creating some curves, but did proceed to complete the conversion.

No, I am still using texlive _2011_.

And my procedure for adding fonts in ~/Library/texmf has been to edit 
~/Library/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg, then run " sudo mktexlsr" followed by 
"sudo updmap-sys". This worked, e.g., for installing in ~/Library/texmf 
the Lucida Type1 fonts from TUG and the MathTimePro 2 Type1 fonts from 
Personal TeX.
