I was just reading about Metafont the other day, so this was quite lovely to come across.

Fig 9 stood out to me as obviously wrong. The two glyphs on the left are pixel by pixel identical, as are the three middle ones, and the two on the right. Quite mysterious though considering this PDF appears to be a scan.

Maybe another old example of this scanner bug?
