how to convert metafont created fonts to PS 1 fonts
I have a font (for the script of my language) which was created using metafont. But as is the usual problem with 8-bit fonts it does not scale well. So I have had to create multiple tfm files for different sizes and use them appropriately. Is there a way to convert these fonts to PS 1 fonts that look good with scaling so that I do not have to bother creating a different font for each size I am interested in?
Thank you.

Welcome to tex,sx, The metatype1 tool will convert from metapost output to type 1; it's not quite the same, but may provide a pathway. Information on CTAN at ctan.org/pkg/metatype1
