+Some design rules:
+
+. Always use smooth curve transitions. Since this is difficult to see in
+ MetaFont proof sheets (which don't show the tangents) I recommend to call
+ mf2pt1 like this
+
+ FONTFORGE=foo mf2pt1 ...
+
+ (`foo' should be a non-existent program; this avoids the default
+ postprocessing). Then call FontForge to inspect the outlines.
+
+. Use rounded corners.
+
+
+Finally, some rules to assure that rasterization at low resolutions give
+good results. Today, this is a minor issue, but in some cases it might show
+design flaws.
+
+. Use `define_whole_pixels' and friends where appropriate.
+
+. Use `hround' and `vround' consistently. A lot of auxiliary macros are
+ defined in feta-macros.mf.
+
+. If a path element is duplicated or shifted, use an integer value for the
+ offset.
+
+. Add `eps' for mirrored paths to assure correct MetaFont rasterization.
+ See the comment and the variables at the end of `feta-params.mf' for
+ details how vertical symmetry should be achieved.
