I got the metafont definition, the original tugboat article, and various .tex files from power.eee.ndsu.nodak.edu (134.129.123.1), ftp anonymous login. You use the metafont to produce fonts in whatever size you want. This allows APL on just about any (laser) printer, not just postscript printers.

Also available as far as APL Postscript fonts go are the METAFONT ones
designed by Hohti and Kanerva (described in an ACM APL Quote Quad article
a year or two ago). The fonts are available via anonymous ftp from
sun.soe.clarkson.edu, I believe. Several people I contacted couldn't
get METAFONT to run on them, however. If that is a problem, I can supply
the necessary .pk/.pxl etc. files......
(I'm writing my MS thesis using LaTeX and need APL characters, so I use
these fonts and dvi2ps to get the desired result.)
