  abstract =     "In this paper we present a new method of parametrizing
                 PostScript fonts in order to create font families. By
                 changing parameter values one can obtain different
                 weights, condensed or expanded versions, small caps as
                 well as optically scaled fonts. The tool used to
                 parametrize PostScript fonts is D.~E. Knuth's {\MF}
                 program. Instead of designing a font from scratch,
                 {\MF} is used as an extrapolator of existing PostScript
                 fonts: out of the information contained in them we
                 build a meta-font; for every choice of parameter
                 values, special versions of {\MF} allow us to return to
                 PostScript and produce a new PostScript font.",
