That was used to generate the lm fonts, but there are no sources. But lm
fonts are purely type1 (and otf).

What do you want to achieve? Automatic installation of *ALL* fonts
available? This won't work.
For metafont fonts, ie those available from mf source you normally don't
have to do nothing, because the mf source generate the tfm file etc.
For type1 fonts you have to create tfm (metric) files, and probably also
some support files for tex.
What is your ultimate target???
