Dunno about the Amiga, but as the author of the METAFONT file, maybe I can
help out with that.
METAFONT is a font designing language written by Donald Knuth, mostly for
use with his TeX typesetting system. It's generally used on UNIX systems,
tho I don't think it's exclusively UNIX. METAFONT and TeX are available
for ftp from ftp.stanford.edu (the official site) as well as sprinkled
about just about any major ftp site (sunsite.unc.edu, ftp.uu.net,
ftp.shsu.edu, etc, etc). It's a complex puppy to build and install,
though, so maybe you should check if your local site has it and if so how
to use it.
