Is there anyone on this list who could comment on the feasibility and 
advisability of making the MusiXTeX fonts truly scalable?  At what 
points in the curret scheme (pmx => MusiXTeX => TeX => dvips or 
dvi2scr) would changes be needed?  I don't know enough about either 
ATM or True-Type to say anything intelligent here, but it seems to me 
that there would be at least two advantages:

1.  Avoid the need to generate a new set of pixel fonts with every 
font-size change.

2.  Make it possible to generate decent-looking PDF files.  Whenever I 
do this now, the bit-mapped fonts come out looking really crappy when 
viewed on screen (yes, they still look OK when printed).
