Summary of Metafont Fonts Available (Approximate Digest Format)
This list includes all known fonts available in metafont format, whether
public domain or not. Archive sites for ftp are listed where known.
There is also a BITNET archive at LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU.
This list is formatted as a sort-of-digest so you can skip through
it easily (e.g. use control-G in rn).
I have deleted the information on using fonts, as there's now an FAQ
for comp.fonts. Please note that I don't use TeX, and can't answer
questions about it. But I always welcome additions to this list.
Many of the files are listed as being on a ctan archive.
The CTAN servers are
ftp.shsu.edu (192.92.115.10),
ftp.dante.de (129.206.100.192), and
ftp.tex.ac.uk (134.151.79.32).
These are mirrored at vaious places, although I don't have a list

Subject: About Metafont
Metafont is a programming language for describing fonts. It was written
by Donald Knuth and is documented in
Computers & Typesetting/C: The METAFONTbook
Knuth, Donald E.
Addison Wesley, 1986
ISBN 0-201-13445-4, or 0-201-13444-6 (soft cover)
Library access: Z250.8.M46K58, or 686.2'24, or 85-28675.
A font written in Metafont is actually a computer program which, when run,
will generate a bitmap (`raster') for a given typeface at a given size,
for some particular device.
In order to use a metafont format font, you'll need to have metafont, or
a program such as mf2ps. See the comp.fonts FAQ for more information.
Subject: AMS (see also under Euler)
The American Mathematical Society collection of Metafont fonts contains:
[1] AMS Euler -- a calligraphic font, designed by Herman Zapf for the AMS.
It is designed for mathematical use, not as a text face. The fonts are
Fraktur, Script, Upright Italic, Math extension. (TUGboat Vol.10, No. 1)
Most of the Euler fonts use the plain base, not the cm base. You
should build these using virmf, or at least with a version of Metafont
that does not have cmbase pre-loaded. Any Errors reported when building
some of the samller sizes can be ignored.
[2] AMS extra maths symbols (msam, msbm)
[3] AMS computer modern extensions -- providing some of the CM fonts at
extra point-sizes.
[4] AMS Cyrillic (this is the same as University of Washington Cyrillic)
There is also some documentation.
You can get them from the AMS directly:
ftp: e-math.ams.com /ams/amsfonts/sources
Any (infrequent) changes to these fonts happen on e-math first.
ftp: CTAN in pub/archive/fonts/ams (everything, compressed tar)

Subject: Chinese
Poor Man's TeX generates Chinese Metafont characters
ftp: blackbox.hacc.washington.edu; cd pub/poorman (??)
Poor Man's TeX Chinese has been extended to support Big5 format;
pre-generated 300dpi Simplified and Traditional GB fonts are available for ftp.
ftp: crl.nmsu.edu ; pub/misc/pmtex-1.1.tar.Z
ftp: crl.nmsu.edu ; pub/chinese/fonts/pmt-{300dpi,tfm}
ChTeX is a set of macros and fonts for typesetting Chinese under TeX.
It only supports PostScript, and requires a modivied dvi2ps. You write
your article with PinYin.
Included are source, fonts, VMS binary for 5.2, DOS binary, etc. There is
also support for X-Windows; contact mliesher@nmsu.edu (Mark Leisher).

mail: info-serv@lanczos.maths.tcd.ie - send a one-line mail message containing
mail: HELP in the text of the message. This may be called "infoserv" now.
Subject: Committee
This was produced during a workshop tutorial given by Donald Knuth.
This is said (by Don Hosek, whom I trust in such things) to be hard-wired
for the APS typesetter... It is described in Tugboat Vol. 5 No. 2 (Nov. 84).
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/committee/*
Subject: Computer Modern
Computer Modern is Donald Knuth's font family used for his later
`Art of Computer Programming' books. It contains
cmr -- computer modern roman
cmmi -- computer modern maths italic
cmti -- computer modern text italic
cmb -- computer modern bold
cmss -- computer modern sans serif
Cmtt -- computer modern typewriter
cmvtt -- computer modern variable-spaced typewriter
and several variations on each of the above (e.g. bold extended...).
There are also some experimental fonts, such as cmff, a `funny' font, and
cmfib, a font based on Fibonacci numbers.
These are all included in a standard TeX distribution, although I only know
of one site archiving the metafont files seperately.
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/cm/mf/*
There is also a very large and probably very complete collection in
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/fonts/cm/*
If all else fails, you can try:
ftp: labrea.stanford.edu cd pub/tex/cm
Many TeX ftp archive sites also give access to the bitmaps (pk files),
although you usually have to get them all at once.
There is also a reparameterised version of CM by John Sauter, which makes
it easy to generate fonts at desired sizes-- this is especially useful for
non-TeX users.
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/cm/sauter/*
See also: Babel, Sauter
There is also a Pica typewriter font -- italic and bold come out with
straight and wavy underlines (respectively), however. This is in
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/cmpica/*
Versions of these fonts suitable for use with an X Windows previewer (xtex
and SeeTeX) are available from
ftp: UNKNOWN [was foobar.colorado.edu] pub/SeeTeX
A variant of CMTT with 8-bit characters for the Mac is available for US$20
from yannis@frcitl81.BITNET -- this is called MACTT. Mf source is included.
Subject: Concrete
This font was designed for Donald Knuth's Concrete Mathematics book.
It looks a little like a cross between American Typewriter and Computer
Modern Roman. There are Roman and Italic faces.
See Tugboat Vol 10 No. 3, pp. 31-36, "typesetting concrete", by Don. Knuth;
an erratum was published in Tugboat Vol 10 No. 3, p. 342.
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/concrete/*
Subject: Courier
The `ascii' font is based on the public domain Courier font donated by IBM to
the X Consortium. This font contains the IBM graphics characters,
and covers only 7-bit ASCII. It was created by R. Ramasubramanian,
R. W. D. Nickalls and M. A. Reed, and is described in tugboat Vol 15 No. 2.
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/fonts/ascii/*
Subject: Croatian Glagolitic
Darko Zubrinic <darko.zubrinic@etf.uni-zg.ac.mail.yu> described this in
"The Exotic Croatian Glagolitic Alphabet" (TUGboat Vol. 13 No. 4 pp 470--471).
See also Fonts: Cyrillic
Subject: Cyrillic
There are several Cyrillic (Russian-Alphabet) fonts:
Tom Ridgeway's Cyrillic fonts
WN-Cyrillic
ifve (which I'm told has better letterforms than WN but only
covers Russian)
the wncy* fonts are part of the amsfonts package:
ftp: e-math.ams.org:/ams/amsfonts/sources/cyrillic
ftp: ctan: tex-archive/sources/cyrillic/*
ftp: june.cs.washington.edu

Alexander Harin has put together a set of fonts using the alternative
Russian font encoding, widely used on MS-DOS in Russia. This includes:
[1] *.mf and *.tfm files for cmcyr fonts by A.Samarin and N.Glonti (modified);
[2] Virtual fonts *.vf by A.Harin which have the standard TeX 7-bit encoding
and use the top half of the 8-bit space for the cmcyr fonts in the
alternative encoding, and
[3] style macros.

James K. Tauber's Greek Metafont `MELANOS'
Melanos differs from other Greek Metafonts in that the diacritics are placed
after the letter they apply to, making it easier to use Greek texts based on
the CATSS/CCAT/TLG system of transliteration. CATSS/CCAT/TLG files can be
made compatible with MELANOS by changing "\" to "`" and "|" to "!"
This (0.2) is still an early release with a simple mono-width sans
serif style.

Subject: Hebrew
A number of Hebrew fonts are available, with and without vowels. Those
include the fonts Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa and DeadSea, Joel M. Hoffman's
HCLASSIC (joel@wam.umd.edu), Jacques Goldman's REDIS, Shalom fonts and more.
Some or all of the fonts are available in an 8-bit encoding; the Metafont
files have names ending in "_newcode.mf". These are:
Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa, DeadSea, redis{8,9,10,12,17}, rediss{8,9,10}.
Jerusalem, TelAviv, OldJaffa and DeadSea are the "regular" fonts in most
applications. Jerusalem is the default; DeadSea is a darker font; TelAviv is
a sort of sans-serif font; OldJaffa is a narrow font.
REDIS (redis*) contains a full set of Hebrew letters in a "sans-serif"
style, and selected punctuation.
Hclassic, dclassic, hcaption and dcaption have a companion slanted form, and
provide Biblical-style letters along with full vocalization capabilities
(i.e. vowels, called in Hebrew NIKUD). The fonts dclassic and dcaption are a
modified version of hclassic and hcaption, in that they contain, apart from
the original characters and vowels, also digits and special symbols copied
from the font DeadSea.
Usage is described in the guide classic_guide (available in noa.huji.ac.il
in tex/tex_guides).
ShalomScript10, ShalomStick10 and ShalomOldStyle10 are three variations of
a Hebrew font with "vowels". Three fonts + vowels are available:
ShalomScript10.mf, ShalomStick10.mf and ShalomOldStyle.mf.
Usage is described in Shalom.readme.
Carmel and carmel slanted (crml10, crmlsl10) are bold fonts written by
Dr. Samy Zafrany of the Technion, Haifa, for headers and for emphasized text.
All of the Hebrew fonts can be found at the archive for Hebrew TeX files:

Subject: Old English
Note On Terminology:
Old English is a language spoken by the Anglo-Saxons in Britain up
until the first half or so of the 12th century. It is used to refer
to fonts used for setting the Old English language.
The term `Old English' is also used to mean the Black Letter fonts
used by mediaeval scribes, and called Gothic. Unfortunately, some
American typefounding companies use `Gothic' to mean `sans-serif'.
Both the Anglo-Saxon character sets and the ornamental Black Letter
fonts are listed here.
Julian Bradfield's font for typesetting Old English in TeX -- this supplies
extra characters for Computer Modern. The extra characters are eth, Eth,
Thorn, thorn, yogh, Yogh and Polish ogonek. There are two styles of thorn,
but I note that there is no wynn. You may have to create an empty file, or
rename a file -- I forget exactly what I had to do. Some of these characters
can also be found in the International Phonetic Alphabet font as well, but
Julian's are much more convenient for working with Old English.
Yannis' Fraktur fonts include ygoth, which can be used as
an Old English Black Letter.

Subject: Oriya

See Fonts: Cirth for details.
Subject: Thai
There are at least three Thai fonts around. The rmit font is a little tricky
to make, as it needs to be in a directory called ``thai2'', because it
refers to files called "../thai2/name". USL makes easily.
The third Thai font is by Dr. Robert Batzinger and associates at the United
Bible Societies in Southeast Asia. I know no more than this.
