This is my recollection of Knuth's assertion[1]. Then again, those kinds of big assertions often come with new products (I did it overnight, the permutations were easy and attractive). I've never touched metafont, other than enjoying the beauty of its results, computer modern. I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else has made beautiful families of fonts from metafont. yours, Sam R. [1] Knuth, Donald E. /TeX and METAFONT: new directions in typesetting/. Bedford, Mass. : Digital Press, 1979. (cyclostyled from conference papers).
