Very nice. The renaming is a good thing IMHO.

I see two approaches: Do a *real* conversion, this is, write font
programs so that you can benefit from the mathematical capabilities of
MetaFont, or do a *mechanical* one by using a script which adds bells
and whistles where necessary. Both methods have advantages and
disadvantages: The former is probably quite time consuming, while the
latter essentially doesn't allow for fine tuning on the MetaFont side.
However, doing a mechanical conversion (which essentially creates a
bunch of points scattered in the coordinate plane), then starting to
adjust the points manually in the MetaFont code is something I would
really like to avoid...
