So, perhaps the way to go is through trouble shooting advice in the manuals. This advice should take the form of "If you see this, then do this..." The difficulty, at least for me, is the fact that I don't understand the sequence of engines that are brought to bear when compiling. When compiling stops with an error with "this not found" or "that not found," I have no clue on how to fix it. On the other hand, you and other gurus see such a message and you seem to say "oh, such and such is missing." Maybe a manual like mfonts.tex should spend a significant amount of space addressing these trouble shooting techniques.
