[comp.fonts] Metafont -> Postscript/TrueType Conversion?

brady@swift.cs.tcd.ie (12/03/90)

Gentle netpeople, here is a possibly naive question:
Is there any way to go from a Metafont Fonmt description to a Postscript
one  (or even True Type). Do any Mac-based tools exist to help in the
process? I guess that even if automatic translation was possible,
there would be a lot of hinting/instructions necessary to make the font viable.

Any information would be gratefully received

PS this is for an entirely legitimate project with the permission of the
owner of the Metafont font in question...
