Sorry, I have no idea. Is there some sort of README file in the packages
one can download from there?

Depends on the font. If you make use to the automatic postprocessing
with fontforge that mftrace provides, then the fonts aren't bad in most
cases. Not suitable for screen reading, though.
Which fonts do you have in mind? As I said, for the ygoth this has been
done. The difficulty is to get this into a form useable for other
applications but TeX.
