I would imagine one day luatex being able to read metafont fonts's, pass
them through mplib to generate splines then through fontloader to build
OpenType fonts out of it, so one can still use metafonts metaness with
the complex layout feature of opentype and it vector fonts.
But given how few metafont fonts is (and only one family is really a
"meta" font), the effort seems not so worthy.

Khaled
