texfont never deletes a mapfile - it writes not only a .bak, but also  
only appends entries, even if the old stuff is wrong...
Additionally, it always writes entries for PFB files, even if there  
are only TTF. A known bug (at least for me), but sometimes I forget  
to fix that.

Ok, I'm uploading the next version.

You're right, but they don't hurt also ;-)

I tried to config pango/fontconfig of my LilyPond installation so  
that it also finds TeX fonts.
Until now it only writes these cache files, but never uses the fonts...

At the moment I'm struggling with a font that uses different names in  
PFB, AFM and else. Chaos!
It doesn't even provide accentes characters. I guess I'll drop it.

Greetlings from Lake Constance!
