Q: How up to date or out of date is the information in [http://www.pragma-ade.comnl/general/manuals/mfonts.pdf mfonts manual]?
A: It looks like it is still quite up-to-date, but some of the examples it gives may no longer be the very best and latest way of doing things, and possibly there are some new developments that do not get as much attention as desired (like [http://www.pragma-ade.comnl/general/manuals/mtexfont.pdf texfont], and the issues arising from font map files). Overall, the document appears accurate, though.
An important thing to remember is this:
* <fontname> is usually derived from the font source (afm or ttf),
* <encoding> is a 'controlled' list, (see [[Encodings and Regimes- Old Content]])
* <vendor> and <familyname> are user-supplied (at install time).
