-<h3>Metafont and MetaPost Tutorials</h3>
-<p/>Apart from Knuth&#8217;s book, there seems to be only one publicly-available
-<a href="http://metafont.tutorial.free.fr/">tutorial for Metafont</a>, by
-Christophe Grandsire (a copy in PDF form may be downloaded).
-Geoffrey Tobin&#8217;s <i>Metafont for Beginners</i>
-(see <a href="FAQ-useMF.html">using Metafont</a>) describes how the Metafont
-system works and how to avoid some of the potential pitfalls.
-<p/>There is also an article on how to run both Metafont and MetaPost (the
-programs). Peter Wilson&#8217;s
-<i>Some Experiences in Running Metafont and MetaPost</i>
-offers the benefit of Peter&#8217;s experience (he has designed a number of
-&#8216;historical&#8217; fonts using Metafont). For Metafont the article is geared
-towards testing and installing new Metafont fonts, while its MetaPost
-section describes how to use MetaPost illustrations in LaTeX and
-PDFLaTeX documents, with an emphasis on how to use appropriate
-fonts for any text or mathematics.

-<p/>Other MetaPost tutorials that have appeared are two in English by
-<a href="http://remote.science.uva.nl/~heck/Courses/mptut.pdf">Andr&#233; Heck</a>
-and <a href="http://www.tlhiv.org/MetaPost/tutorial/">Urs Oswald</a>,
-and one in French (listed here because it&#8217;s clearly enough written
-that even this author understands it), by
-<a href="http://pauillac.inria.fr/~cheno/metapost/metapost.pdf">Laurent Ch&#233;no</a>;
-both have been recommended for inclusion in the FAQ
-<p/>Urs Oswald&#8217;s tutorial is accompanied by a super tool (by Troy
-Henderson) for testing little bits of MetaPost, which is an invaluable
-aid to the learner: <a href="http://www.tlhiv.org/mppreview">http://www.tlhiv.org/mppreview</a>
-<p/>Vincent Zoonekynd&#8217;s massive set of example MetaPost files is available on
-CTAN; the set includes a <i>Perl</i> script to convert the
-set to html, and the set may be
-<a href="http://zoonek.free.fr/LaTeX/Metapost/metapost.html">viewed on the web</a>.
-While these examples don&#8217;t exactly constitute a &#8220;tutorial&#8221;, they&#8217;re
-most certainly valuable learning material. Urs Oswald presents a
-<a href="http://www.ursoswald.ch/metapost/tutorial.pdf">similar document</a>,
-written more as a document, and presented in PDF.
