Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
mf2pt1
package.
Version: 2.8

Summary description: Convert stylized Metafont to PostScript Type 1
Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format.
Version 2.8 of mf2pt1 adds extreme later in the postprocessing script. This change is due to a merge request submitted by Werner Lemberg to the LilyPond project (
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/merge_requests/2374).
