Metafont details the sizes of -glyphs, for TeX’s benefit, and details the rasters used to -represent the glyphs, for the benefit of programs that will produce -printed output as post processes after a run of TeX. -<p/>Metafont’s language for defining fonts permits the expression of several -classes of things: first (of course), the simple geometry of the -glyphs; second, the properties of the print engine for which the -output is intended; and third, ‘meta’-information which can -distinguish different design sizes of the same font, or the difference -between two fonts that belong to the same (or related) families. -<p/>Knuth (and others) have designed a fair range of fonts using Metafont, -but font design using Metafont is much more of a minority skill than is -TeX macro-writing. The complete TeX-user nevertheless needs to -be aware of Metafont, and to be able to run Metafont to generate personal -copies of Meta-fonts that come her way. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=MF">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=MF</a> -</body> |
