->>> Not everyone has MF.

-While I agree that ``not everyone who has TeX has a PostScript printer'',
-surely the one thing that we _can_ assume is that everyone who has TeX
-has MetaFont?  If they haven't, they d@mn well ought to have!

All thhe job work I've done has been almost exclusively using PS
fonts. I don't have any portion of MF on my laptop (although I
have 3 MF versions on my desktop). There's at least one
production house using TeX which has never used MF for fonts.
