I think you should spend more time updating your knowledge of TeX :) All jabs aside metafont is separate from TeX in most regards, other than that Computer Modern was made using metafont (but is now widely distributed in a vector format).
- nailer 8y agoYou're missing the point. That metafont is seperate from TeX is irrelevant: the only time someone has to use metafont is with TeX, so metafont is considered part of Tex. PostScript is its own can of worms. People who need typeset documents shouldn't have to concern themselves with it. It's not 1994 anymore, alt.sysadmin.recovery is dead, nobody knows what a 'cluestick' is or what code ID-10-T is, and people generally have stopped blaming users for poor software - which TeX, by Knuth's own standards is.
