I would be interested in hearing from people out there using METAFONT
to create new fonts (or re-creating some existing, presumably
non-protected, font). For instance, is anybody working on such fonts
as:
o script
o old classics such as Garamond, Bodoni, Caslon,
Baskerville etc.
o Times Roman (tm), Helvetica (tm) lookalikes
o symbols, ornaments, pictograms, etc.
It would be nice if you were willing to share your achievements.
I myself have made attempts at the DIN standard technical lettering
font, which isn't very good (yet), and (with more success) the OCR-A
font (this was easy, the translation to METAFONT was rather
straightforward). I posted the OCR-A font to net.sources some time ago.
Respond by mail, I will summarize to the net.
