Subject:      What is the New Font Selection Scheme?)

I know that there is something called a New Font Selection Scheme and that
I have to get the latest LaTeX release to use it. What I want to know is

1. If someone sends me a LaTeX document (the .tex file) that uses NFSS
   can I print it without the latest version? I guess this depends on the
   answer to the next question...

2. How does the scheme work, and what is the advantage of using it?

3. Is there any connection between this new scheme and the upgrade to TeX 3?
   or are they independent developments? What about the recent upgrade to
   plain.tex?

I've read through the FAQ's and while NSFF is mentioned, it is not explained.

Dan Luecking.
