The article "The ABC's of Special Effects" by Georgia K. M. Tobin,
published in the latest issue of TUGboat (9.1 (1988), pp.15--18) has some
intriguing examples of fancy 3-D and other fonts, generated in a clever,
but really quite simple way from the CM fonts.  All you need is a working
version of Metafont, and Tobin's MF code will produce the special effects
shown.
