Has anyone yet created a Mac driver for Knuth's METAFONT
program?  This would consist of MF mode settings for the
Imagewriter, and gf2mac programs that turn GF files into
something that can be productively downloaded to the Mac.

I know that TeXtures has all the Computer Modern fonts;
what I want is the ability to create fonts on the Vax
that I can type with on my Mac.

Alternatively, can someone describe for me the exact
format of a font file (as it might exist on the Unix
end prior to a "macput" operation) so that if nobody
has done it already, I can conceivably try to create
such a driver?

Thanks, as they say, in advance...
