Oh, how fun.

Would you be willing to accept such patches, then? (That would
make texlive-binaries the de-facto upstream I guess. Where did
ttf2tfm come from anyway — it looks like a part of X11, in the
freetype module, to me, at least it’s there in the XFree86®
source tree.)

As things currently stand, ttf2tfm cannot be used to produce
tfm files for Teχ’s T1 encoding *at all* (unless the TTF font
happens to have two exact copies of the hyphen-dash, which is
rare; my workaround uses the soft hyphen, which is almost
identical (different space on both sides), but that leads to
me requiring different .enc files for ttf2tfm and pdflatex ☹
