well you can have :

   sun3 Sun-Light 4 < sun3____.pfb texnansi.enc

or less informative but more robust:

   sun3 < sun3____.pfb texnansi.enc

btw, because (1) i hate unreadable filenames and (2) want to avoid problems 
with pseudo slant and caps fonts, i prefer to use more verbose names:

texnansi-raw-uplr8a-capitalized-800 URWPalladioL-Roma                   4 < 
uplr8a.pfb texnansi.enc
texnansi-raw-uplr8a-slanted-167     URWPalladioL-Roma "0.167 SlantFont" 4 < 
uplr8a.pfb texnansi.enc

(as supported/generated by texfont.pl)
