An APL font for TeX exists and is freely available. I got the metafont
definition, the original tugboat article, and various .tex files from
power.eee.ndsu.nodak.edu (134.129.123.1), ftp anonymous login. You use
the metafont to produce fonts in whatever size you want. This allows
APL on just about any (laser) printer, not just postscript printers.
