I'm quite certain that fixing patches for ttf2pk means that it can be
applied to ttf2pk2 also.

As far as I can see, Peter can't reproduce this.  Can you provide such
different TFMs for testing?  Maybe this gives a clue.  [BTW, this is
what I've meant in an earlier mail that you provide data within a
small bundle, together with a script which calls ttf2pk, ttf2tfm,
etc.]

I suggest that you don't care about this particular issue.  It's much
more important to find out what causes your immediate problem.

Please, PLEASE stop talking about what to test first and what not.
This is not helpful.  First YOUR problems should be handled.
