Knuth has just finished the new "final" versions of the Computer Modern font family, written in the new Metafont (at least they have just been installed on the Dover printer). Thus the Metafont sources will presumably shortly be available from whoever does the TeX distribution. (The reason only PXL files were distributed is that the old fonts were written in the old non-portable Metafont.) --Per Bothner Bothner@su-score ...!glacier!navajo!bothner Computer Science Dept, Stanford University Stanford CA 95305
