Dearest gang, As TeX moves into the 21'st century (pdfetex, ConTeXt, etc.) what about Metafont? Erik van Blokland and Co. have come up with the foundation of what could be a new and better "MetaFont", using Python: http://letterror.com/code/robofab/index.html The font development model looks very familiar: http://erik.letterror.com/typemedia/draw/drawingForInterpolation.pdf -) And it works with the latest FontLab (which uses python for extensions), so there's your gui-) built on RoboFab is Superpolator: http://letterror.com/code/superpolator/index.html The last is not free, but takes things to a whole other level. In any case, I think Erik has charted out a path that TeX should consider with respect to realizing the other half of Knuth's dream.
