<p>Some code may look a bit obscure but this has to do with the
fact that we also use this code for testing and much code evolved
in the transition from <l n='tfm'/> to <l n='afm'/> to <l
n='otf'/>.</p>

<p>The following code still has traces of intermediate font support
where we handles font encodings. Eventually font encoding goes
away.</p>

<p>The embedding of a font involves creating temporary files and
depending on your system setup that can fail. It took more than a
day to figure out why sometimes embedding failed in mingw luatex
where running on a real path like c:\... failed while running on
say e:\... being a link worked well. The native windows binaries
don't have this issue.</p>

those cases, but now that we can handle <l n='opentype'/> directly we no longer
need this features.</p>
