-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label MF</title>

-<h3>What is Metafont?</h3>
-<p/>Metafont was written by Knuth as a companion to TeX; whereas TeX
-defines the layout of glyphs on a page, Metafont defines the shapes of
-the glyphs and the relations between them. Metafont details the sizes of
-glyphs, for TeX&rsquo;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&rsquo;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, &lsquo;meta&rsquo;-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.
