-<h3>Making outline fonts from Metafont</h3>
-<p/><i>TeXtrace</i>, originally developed by P&#233;ter Szab&#243;, is a
-bundle of Unix scripts that use Martin Weber&#8217;s freeware boundary
-tracing package
-<a href="http://autotrace.sourceforge.net"><i>autotrace</a></i> to
-generate Type 1 outline fonts from Metafont bitmap
-font outputs. The result is unlikely ever to be of the quality of
-the commercially-produced Type 1 font, but there&#8217;s always the
-<a href="http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/"><i>FontForge</a></i> font
-editor to tidy things. Whatever, there
-remain fonts which many people find useful and which fail to attract
-the paid experts, and auto-tracing is providing a useful service here.
-Notable sets of
-fonts generated using <i>TeXtrace</i> are P&#233;ter Szab&#243;&#8217;s own
-EC/TC font set <i>tt2001</i> and Vladimir Volovich&#8217;s
-CM-Super set, which covers the EC, TC, and the
-Cyrillic LH font sets (for details of both of which sets, see
-<a href="FAQ-type1T1.html">&#8220;8-bit&#8221; type 1 fonts</a>).
-<p/>Another system, which arrived slightly later, is
-<a href="http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen/mftrace/"><i>mftrace</a></i>:
-this is a small <i>Python</i> program that does the same job.
-<i>Mftrace</i> may use either <i>autotrace</i> (like
-<i>TeXtrace</i>) or Peter Selinger&#8217;s
-<a href="http://potrace.sourceforge.net"><i>potrace</a></i> to produce
-the initial outlines to process. <i>Mftrace</i> is said to be
-more flexible, and easier to use, than is <i>TeXtrace</i>, but both systems
-are increasingly being used to provide Type 1 fonts to the public domain.
-<p/>The <i>MetaType1</i> system aims to use Metafont font sources, by way
-of MetaPost and a bunch of scripts and so on, to produce high-quality
-Type 1 fonts. The first results, the
-<a href="FAQ-type1T1.html"><i>Latin Modern</i> fonts</a>, are now
-well-established, and a bunch of existing designs have been reworked
-in MetaType1 format.
