This quote is rather misleading. It's from the other Florian. I said I planned to solved this in another comment, though, but I didn'get anywhere. There appears to be a somewhere current distribution here: <https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/metatype1/> And the README file in metatype1-ver056.zip says: | This is METATYPE1 package -- a tool for creating Type 1 fonts using | METAPOST. The package belongs to public domain (no copyrights, copylefts, | copyups, copydowns, etc.). | | Version: 0.56 (27.04.2015; a tentative version, released along with | the sources of the Latin Modern fonts ver. 2.003) | Author: JNS team <jnst...@gust.org.pl> So perhaps the licensing situation has been resolved. > I tend to lower that bug to wishlist and retitle: "please package > META-Type1" Makes sense.
