support for fonts is now mostly organized in typescripts; i also have a zip
now with map files for (to start with) some font collections, and
installing fonts is not that hard now: 

(1) copy the afm's and pfb's to a scratch path
(2) texfont --make --install --vendor=you --collection=nice

should produce all you need. I will add auto typoscript generation too.
Live would be much easier if we could agree on encodings. 

Btw, i use map file names like: 

  texnansi-lucas-sun.map 

and so, and i really would like to have font files like texnansi-abc.tfm 

btw, texfont generates slanted, bold and cap fonts with names like
slanted-167-extended-150-nice.tfm or caps-800-blabla.tfm; a bit like
xwindows, that way we can have whatever derivate without name clashes.
