I'm unable to find anything that shows that this is notable software. Joe Chill (talk) 22:37, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

  • Merge into Metafont. AFAIK the software has seen very little usage other than from its authors. Disclosure: I know the authors personally.--Oneiros (talk) 17:07, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
  • How many people create TeX fonts to begin with? I don't think this is much of an argument. FuFoFuEd (talk) 10:53, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Viewing this AfD again and the sources that FuFoFuEd posted. I will ask Oneiros if he is interested in changing his !vote to keep. Joe Chill (talk) 00:04, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep, since I'm a certified Inclusionist.--Oneiros (talk) 14:23, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article has a book reference that is both reliable and independent and is 8 pages long in coverage of this topic. There are bunch of articles in Google Scholar as well, and some don't seem to be from the authors of the software (listed in this article), e.g. [http://www.edutex.tug.org/TUGboat/tb29-1/tb91hoeppner.pdf] [http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.93.1240&rep=rep1&type=pdf]. Seems enough for WP:N. FuFoFuEd (talk) 10:46, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I should have considered those sources while doing my nomination, but I will see about closing this AfD. Joe Chill (talk) 00:06, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
