Elaine,
I think what you want is covered in a brief note I wrote some time ago:
http://www.tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2008-February/010056.html
The title of the article may seem irrelevant:
[texhax] How can I "condense" or "narrow" an existing font? -- solution
but I think it covers what you need -- how to define a new font -- and
gives pointers to detailed instructions.
Good luck,
Niall
