+<h3>Finding new fonts</h3>
+<p/>A comprehensive list of Metafont fonts used to be posted to
+<i>comp.fonts</i> and to <i>comp.text.tex</i>, roughly
+every six weeks, by Lee Quin.
+Nowadays, authors of new material in Metafont are few and far between
+(and mostly designing highly specialised things with limited appeal to
+ordinary users); as a result, no-one has taken over maintenance of the
+list of fonts. If you need a font for some esoteric purpose, it may
+be worth <a href="FAQ-findfiles.html">searching CTAN</a> using your purpose
+as a search keyword.
+<p/>Most new fonts that appear are prepared in some scalable outline form
+or other, and a large proportion is distributed under commercial
+terms. However, once you have acquired such a font, converting it to
+a form usable by your (La)TeX distribution is not (in principle) a
+serious problem.
+<p/>The answer &ldquo;<a href="FAQ-psfchoice.html">choice of scalable fonts</a>&rdquo; discusses
+fonts that are configured for general (both textual and mathematical)
+use with (La)TeX. The list of such fonts is sufficiently short that
+they <em>can</em> all be discussed in one answer here.
