[texhax] Conversion otf -> tfm

I don't think the texnansx encoding will be useful in plain
TeX. Here's what the man page for otftotfm says:

       The easiest way to use otftotfm is with the -a
       option. Without -a, otftotfm writes all its output
       files to the current directory.

       After running "otftotfm fontfile texname" and
       installing the results (manually or with -a), you can
       use the OpenType font in plain TeX with a command
       like this:

           \font\myfont=texname at 10pt

Notice the use of texname; I don't know what font name
to use if one doesn't provide it at the command line. If
you intend to use otftotfm, you should use a -vendor
option because the map file it generates is of the form
"vendor".map; the default for "vendor" is lcdftools if you
don't provide a vendor. And you'll have to call 

updmap-user -enable Map "vendor".map 

manually because the current version of otftotfm still calls
updmap.

Well, autoinst could be provided with all of them in one
call and would produce a sty file for use with LaTeX. But
presumably this is not of interest to you if you don't use
LaTeX.
