I had a brief look at this, but I am missing something.  How do the
char metrics go into mf2pt1?  Specifically: how does the negative
width of the bbox enter the pfb file? Currently, mftrace reads them
from an AFM file, which is generated from the log files.

If you want to experiment, see

  stepmake/stepmake/metafont-*.make

for make file rules involved.
