More or less yes.

Yes.

I wonder that as well. You can try one thing:

\usetypescript[fourier][ec]
\setupbodyfont[fourier]

\showfont[MathRoman]
\showfont[MathSymbol]
\showfont[MathExtension]

Then, repeat the same with

\usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][ec]
\setupbodyfont[antykwa]

You'll notice that MathRoman differs in Antykwa Torunska and in
Fourier. (You can also try \showfont[rm-lmr12].) Fourier is just a
tiny bit non-standard.

The slightly weird thing is this:
\definefontsynonym [MathRoman]     [Fourier-Math-Letters]
\definefontsynonym [Fourier-Math-Letters]         [futr8t]
[encoding=ec] % maybe one should remove encoding=ec?

The "math roman" equals ec encoding in this particular case. So in
theory rm should be equal to tf here; I have no idea why it is not.

The problem with tf is that it depends on encoding being used, in
particular it means that it will be different in mkiv (if you manage
to make it work in the first place).

> 2) I guess all [mr] (10 or so) in math-fou.tex safely can be changed to [tf]?

I would not just bet on it. I would try it first. If mr works, one
should better leave mr, but I have no idea why it fails.

> 3) Does anyone know what has to be done to get this working in mkiv?

Hans, what's the strategy with non-unicode fonts, in particular
Utopia? It doesn't come in otf format, but could still be used in both
mkiv and XeTeX. Is there some type-something.tex foreseen for such
fonts?
