Hi,

I have just started a rubyforge project ('fontlib') that should be able 
to do so. I'll take
some code from 'rfil' (the ruby font installler library - ) and put it 
there. There is currently
only type1 support and truetype via the ttftoafm (from your favourite 
TeX distribution).

Just in case you want to reply off-list: pg <at> levana . de
