[comp.text] Metafont in LaTeX

shoopak@topaz.rutgers.edu (Maverick) (06/23/89)

Is there a way to implement Metafont Font defs in a [La]Tex file, so
I can

latex foo
dvi2ps foo
lpr foo on a postscript printer.

???

Huh? LaTeX and METAFONT are different languages. One typesets text the
other makes fonts. Would you feed a COBOL program to a C compiler?

(Yeah, I think I know what you want. Sorry, you can't make fonts on the
fly with LaTeX. Not this way anyway.)
