Hallo!

I asked some questions some days ago, and got no answers.
Is there anybody, who can enlighten me a little?

Hallo!

In order to learn understand fontinstallation, typescripts and so, I tried
to install a Font (Metafont-source).
Please have a look at the following fragment:

---------------------type-bunt.tex----------------------------
\starttypescript [handwriting] [bunt] [ec]
  \definefontsynonym [???] [???] [???]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [handwriting] [bunt] [name]
  \definefontsynonym [???] [???]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [handwriting] [default] [size]
  \definebodyfont 
  [5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.95pt,12pt,14.4pt,17.28pt,20.74pt,24.88pt] 
  [hw] [default]
\stoptypescript
\starttypescript [Bunt]
  \definetypeface [Bunt] [hw] [handwriting] [bunt] [default] 
  [encoding=\typescripttwo]
\stoptypescript
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have the following questions:

1. What is the differenz between hw and cg resp. handwriting and
calligraphy?
2. Is the typescript for [handwriting], defined in 'type-siz.tex', the 
   default, if the above typescript for size would be deletet?
3. Is there a good reason to use typescripts for such a one member family
of
   fonts?
4. What is the 3. parameter in \definebodyfont for?
5. In 'type-siz.tex' the sizes are given with maximal 1/10 präzission.
   In a LaTeX fd-file I have used 1/100 präzission (10.95, not 11;
   17.28, not 17.3), so I have used the same in the above typescript,
   just to be konsistent. Is this ok?
6. The namingshema of the source-files is 'bunt0900.mf, bunt1000.mf,
   bunt1095.mf ...
   What has to be written in the above [name] typescript to build these
   names? 
7. What should I write for the 6. parameter of \definetypeface?
   The encoding [ec]? What means \typescripttwo?
   What with the encoding-typescript?
