Adobe Technote 5086 (available from partners.adobe.com, I think) documents
the MM extensions. The Type 1 font format version 1.2 is supposed to also
document it, but the latest version I have seen is 1.1.
MM fonts are Type 1 fonts with restrictions on how they are formed; there are
several "masters" in the font (at least two per axis), and an instance of a
font (which is a normal Type 1 font) can be created by blending different
amounts of each master together.
The blending is performed by subrs which perform linear interpolation between
points in the appropriate masters.
