Here is a list of all of the Metafont font sources I have been able to find.
If you know of any more fonts, please let me know (mail lee@sq.com), and I
will add them to this list. I'd be interested even if the fonts cost money.
If there is a lot of interest, I will post a more detailed summary including
archive sources and individual fonts.
Lee.
cmpica
A variation on the computer modern [q.v.] typewriter font.
Computer Modern
This is the generic <<TeX>> font family. You can get it from
any of the TeX archive sites, and it coms with the TeX and METAFONT
distribution.
Concrete
Used for typesetting a book entitled <<Concrete Mathematics>>.
Euler
Designed for the AMS by Herman Zapf. Includes a Fraktur (like Old
English, used for German) face and a calligraphic face.
Not available for ftp, although there are some gf and pk files floating
around.
Hershey
A large set of fonts originally designed for use with a pen plotter.
They have been converted to MetaFont, but I have not looked at the
results.
International Phonetic Alphabet
Used by linguists and also in dictionaries.
This version is designed to go with the Computer Modern family.
OCR
Used on cheques (although the ink used is magnetic on cheques) and
for other machine-readable printing. Was especially designed for
Optical Character Recognition.
Pandora
An experiment with Metafont. Includes a seriffed and a sans face, and
also a sans mon typewriter face. I am not sure that this is ready for
heavy-duty work yet.
Punk
A graffiti-style writing-on-the-wall display font.
Redis (Hebrew)
Sans-serif Hebrew. Includes a slanted (backwards, of course!) face.
Tengwar
Based on the Elvish script used by J.R.R. Tolkien in The Lord Of The Rings.
If you find more, let me know!
