I have a plain-TeX source file ready to go that makes a nice wedding
program. But I need a script font for the headings. Something like Windows
Edwardian Script (Open Type) which comes in a file called ITCEdscr.TTF.

My wedding program source file works both with PCTeX and with MiKTex 2.9.
However, I have been unable to install the script font into either system.
Without getting into the details of why I have not been able to use system
resources to do the installation, I am wondering if someone can help me do
a manual installation into either one of these systems, PCTeX or MiKTeX.

Here are my specific questions:

1. I have the True Type font, in this case, ITCEdscr.ttf, located in a
directory C:\temp.
How do I get that file to tto make the files I need for plain TeX to use it
(.pfb, .tfm, .enc, .map and any others)? I think I start with ttf2afm but
am not sure.

2. Into which directories would I place these files (.pfb, .tfm, .enc,
.map, etc.)

3. What else would I have to do, so that I can simply go:

\font\scriptheadingone=ITCEdscr at 24pt
\font\scriptheadingtwo-ITCEdscr at 18pt

in my plain TeX source file?

Obviously I am looking for a quick and dirty, manual-effort solution.

If there is some charitable soul in the US who wouldn't mind walking me
through this, I would be happy to give a telephone number to accomplish
that.  If someone helps me get the script font working in my source file
(either through emails back and forth or telephone calls), I will gladly
express my appreciation to that person with a $100 gift (would have to work
out the mechanism: gift card or something like that).

Please help! Wedding program needs to be printed in about 7 days. Thank you.

Thank you.
