Yes, he has, and he made some other changes too; I played a bit with git
bisect, running "make clean && make" each time, and found that at least
one of these commits caused this font selection problem:
d855b626f5778137af77881672b21efe3f17bd1b Bugfix: uniq-list uses equal? iso. eq?.

5c6a64bb795c80febcc6ce1ebcb7a25a862ebc30 Mf2pt1 fixes: run mf2pt1 in a temp dir 
to fix filesystem pollution.
c8af5675d8b865905bad068598778269d71e3294 Change build system for mf2pt1 font 
generation.

Huh!? after compiling with current Git, I see a lot of .pfb files in
mf/out, but no .pfa; is it the source of the problem?  With the old
build system with mftrace, .pfa files were generated too.  When looking
at mf/GNUmakefile history, it looks like Han-Wen deliberately choosed to
generate .pfb iso .pfa.

Yes, certainly.  I can't help more on this, because I'm ignorant about
font selection, and I have no time to learn and investigate.
