The purpose of Metatype project is the development of freeware TrueType fonts for generic user community.
Metafont language is chosen for creating characher glyphs. Currently, glyph images are converted to cubic outlines using autotrace utility, and then to conic outlines.
Maestro font family is developed as a part of Metatype project. Some symbols look ugly, some are missing, font faces are not balanced, outlines are not optimal, no kerning, no hinting, no precomputed bitmaps. A lot of things must be done to make these fonts good enough.
