Description: A brief backgrounder on Metafont.
As part of the TeX Project at Stanford University (1978--1988), the noted computer scientist and prolific author, Professor Donald E. Knuth, created the of fonts from a set of dimensional parameters and outline descriptions. No other font design system in the world can make this claim. The closest recent approach to recognizing the utility of `meta'-ness is Adobe System's MultiMaster fonts, which parametrize fonts by interpolations from parameters of three or four basic fonts.
