What I did to get the INR symbol was the following :

  Converted the ttf font to mf.
  Removed all the characters except ` which maps to the symbol in the font.
  Used that mf file in my local tree.
  Define a newcommand for the symbol as
      \newcommand{\inr}{{\font\x=inrr8\x `}\relax}

Might not be the best way or elegant, but it works :-) I am including
the mf file which I think can be used on any system that has LaTeX.

Regards,

The mf file is given below, if you want to try it :

u#:=1pt#;

currenttransform:=currenttransform scaled u;

primarydef v picxor w =
 begingroup
  picture q; q=v+w; cull q keeping (1,1); q
 endgroup
enddef;


picture pom;
def neg expr p = pom:=nullpicture;
%        if turningnumber p=0:
          turningcheck:=0;
          addto pom contour p.t_;
          cull pom keeping (1,100);
          currentpicture:=currentpicture picxor pom;
          pom:=nullpicture;
          addto pom contour reverse p.t_;
          cull pom keeping (1,100);
          turningcheck:=2;
%        else: addto pom contour p.t_; fi
        currentpicture:=currentpicture picxor pom; enddef;
