    ABSTRACT:: This is the user's manual for METAFONT, a companion to the
               TEX tyesetting system. The system makes it fairly easy to
               define high quality fonts of type in a machine-independent
               manner; a user writes "programs" in a new language developed
               for this purpose. By varying parameters of a design, an
               unlimited number of typefaces can be obtained from a single
               set of programs. The manual also sketches the algorithms used
               by the system to draw the character shapes.
