<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''MetaType1''', also stylized as '''METATYPE1''', is a tool for creating [[PostScript Type 1|Type 1]] [[font]]s using [[MetaPost]], developed by the Polish JNS team ([[Bogusław Jackowski]], Janusz Marian Nowacki and Piotr Strzelczyk).<ref>[http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/metatype1/ metatype1 – Generate Type 1 fonts from METAPOST] CTAN</ref><br />
<br />
Since [[Metafont]] cannot produce outline fonts (vector-based), a new tool was needed to help creating such fonts, primarily for use with [[TeX]], although the [[OpenType]] versions of the fonts might be used in any other program. It is less powerful than [[Metafont]] since no pens can be used, only filled paths, but it still allows creation of parametric fonts.<ref>[http://www.ntg.nl/maps/26/15.pdf MetaType1: a METAPOST -based engine for generating Type 1 fonts], Bogusław Jackowski, Janusz Marian Nowacki and Piotr Strzelczyk, 2001</ref><br />
<br />
Most important fonts produced with MetaType1 are: [[Latin Modern]], [[Latin Modern Math]], [[TeX Gyre]], [[Antykwa Toruńska]], [[Antykwa Półtawskiego]], [[Kurier (font)|Kurier]] and [[Iwona]].<br />
