However, if we have
\pdfsetfontenc\somefont{blabla.enc}
we can do with
- one tfm files (the same but a different name) - one mapping lines (the original) - one pfb file
I can even imagine that we have
\pdfsetfontfile\somefont{blabla.pfb}
or \pdfsetfontfile\somefont{< blabla.pfb}?
\pdfsetfontname\somefont{FunnyFontName}
more... \pdfsetfonttransform\somefont{0.9 ExtendFont 0.1 SlantFont} \pdfsetfontflag\somefont{5} All this only as long as the font is not yet in use, right? Another maybe more simple way would be some font aliasing mechanism, creating a "virtual" tfmname, e. g. \pdffonttfmalias{cmr10 hcmr10} (while no hcmr10.tfm exists), and then you can create a normal map line starting with hcmr10...
