<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. 
<p>


<p>Nowadays, authors of new material in Metafont are few and far between
(and mostly designing highly specialised things with limited appeal to
ordinary users).  Most new fonts that appear are prepared in some
scalable outline form or other (see
<a href="FAQ-psfchoice.html">&ldquo;choice of scalable fonts&rdquo;</a>), and they
are almost all distributed under commercial terms.
