Embedding Fonts in MetaPost Output

MetaPost [1, 2, 3] is a powerful graphics language (by John Hobby) based on Donald Knuth’s META-FONT [4] with high quality PostScript output. An outstanding feature of MetaPost is that typeset fonts in the output graphics are consistent with those in TEX-based documents. However, Meta-Post does not embed these fonts inside the output PostScript files. This article addresses a specific technique for performing such an embedding. 1
