I'm interested (as a type designer) about parametric fonts, and I've found some web sites about some kind of software that it's able to convert metafont fonts to postcript, with some restrictions. Does anybody ever made parametric fonts directly in postscript? I think Jacques Andre has been working on it, but I'm not able to find anything related to this. I would apreciate any information about it. Thank you.
