Well no-one seems to have posted this so either everyone knows or
no-one does...  TUGBoat 11:4 contains a description of mf2ps which is
essentialy METAFONT with its back end cut off and replaced by
something that produces PostScript type 3 outline fonts (which I think
are the ones without hinting).  It was written by Shimon Yanai and
Daniel M Berry, and I think is ftp-able from
shemp.cs.ucla.edu:pub/mf2ps.shar.Z.  I don't know if this the version
for mf 2.x or 1.x though.
