I would argue the reverse -- make the initial font conversion a  
virtually invisible process initially, something that doesn't require  
any additional user interaction, as painless as just dragging a font  
into the Font Manager window or clicking the + button on the bottom  
of the window and selecting the font.

Then, after the font is on the system and has gone through the  
conversion/wrapping process, allow the user to make adjustments to  
the nfont plist via a nice GUI frontend, if and only if they desire  
that level of control.
