[OS X TeX] adobe minion and garamond

[Kyle Johnson]

Many thanks to Herb Schulz (and to Walter Schmidt for the incredible  
resources he's made available). And even more thanks to Alan Curtis --   
  your very thorough post saved us hours of work. We've almost gotten it  
together now so that the otf minion fancy swashes and the like works.

We're trying to to set up a T1 encoding, in particular to use the  
Icelandic thorn and eth fonts. When we use otftotfm on the opentype  
fonts with 8x encoding, however, it doesn't read them. (We need to use  
8x, right?) Has anyone here had success using otftotfm with 8x  
encoding?

TIA,
Kyle and Justin
