Hi Jairo,
(to the list for those who want to play with it)
In addition to the metapost fotn subsystem I also made a tex variant.
That one is currently based on setups. So, we now can use mp as well as
tex to make fonts. Of course this is mostly for special purposes and for
fun but both are quite efficient.
