Just to add a note: the MM technology has proved not to be popular
with font designers, as it is impossible to sell a MM font for 2^n
times the price of an ordinary font.  It has also not proved popular
with users (except graphic artists and magazine designers), as it
requires the user to finetune the font's parameters, something that
should really be the font designer's job.

As far as I know, Adobe have abandoned MM.  They still support the
format, but they no longer create MM fonts, and don't encourage font
designers to create them.
