[Fontinst] trouble with LY1encoding

[Walter Schmidt]

Hi,

when trying to install ly1-encoded fonts using fontinst 1.926,
I got strange results:  Any metrics file created by \installrawfont
would inherit the kerning pairs of all fonts installed before.
Furthermore, the log file ended with:

  (\end occurred inside a group at level 4)

The fontinst script used was:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% snip %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\input fontinst.sty
\installfonts

\installfamily{LY1}{phv}{}

\transformfont{phvr8y}{\reencodefont{8y}{\fromafm{phvr8a}}}
\transformfont{phvb8y}{\reencodefont{8y}{\fromafm{phvb8a}}}

\installrawfont{phvr8y}{phvr8y,8y}{8y}{LY1}{phv}{m}{n}{}
\installrawfont{phvb8y}{phvb8y,8y}{8y}{LY1}{phv}{b}{n}{}

\endinstallfonts
\bye
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% snap %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

I have never experienced this problem when using 8r instead 
of ly1.  Am I doing anything wrong, or is ly1.mtx or .etx 
broken?

FYI:  A ZIP archive including the script, the AFMs and  the 
.pl files created is available:

any help or enlightenment is appreciated;
