There's also Scott Pakin's `mf2pt1' tool (which we use for creating
the LilyPond OpenType fonts today) and Han-Wen Nienhuys's `mftrace'
(which was used for LilyPond fonts before we massaged the MetaFont
source files for good results with `mf2pt1'), which internally uses
either `autotrace' or `potrace'.
