I tried this, and though everything updated and processed, lily still 
choked. Looking into this, I discovered the problem was in sudo ln 
-s... Nothing called enc exists within the first filepath. Thus, it's 
creating an alias to nothing. You'd think ln would complain about 
something like this?

In 2.4.2, /fonts contains subdirectories afm, source, tfm, and type1.

BTW, Matthias, someone suggested I look at your experimental directory 
for 2.5.x .info and .patch files. No idea where this directory is. 
Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?

Best,
Will
