Hi!
I have the impression that I did see that MetaPost can be used to create
full fonts and not only pictures. (In fact to keep the potential of
METAFONT, but extending it to OpenType /PostScript/TrueType (??) fonts.)
I even think there was mention about Perl in this respect.
Did I dream or not (yes I start to dream about ConTeXt and MetaPost !!!).
Could you point me to the right direction and provide links and/or email
address of the persons who are involved?
Thanks,
--
Alain
