Thomas,
I expected to find mktex.cnf somewhere other than the distribution tree (texmf-
dist) as I know the idea in teTeX 3.0 is to leave the texmf-dist tree untouched 
after install.

Thanks for the reply, it clarifies things for me - particularly how teTeX 
behaves when a config change is made. As you say, because the default settings 
matched what I wanted then there was no need for teTeX to create or modify a 
configuration file.

Yes, it does all work and fonts are created as expected.
Thanks again,
