METAFONT is indeed a program that deserves more attention, at least for
mathematicians: if Hilbert had had it, he will have found somebody in
Göttingen to create a font and not use the suboptimal gothic one.
(IMHO, both fonts and the mathematical symbols have not reached a
perfection; and even on a theorical side, one can see that some features
of programming languages have gone farer than mathematics language...)
For Plan9, this is a task to tackle.
But adding support for utf-8 in TeX should probably come first.
This is just an idea: not an engagement!
