AIUI unless you're using XeTeX, Unicode isn't even really an option for
METAFONT. Just out of curiosity, does your MF font work with the Diagram
package? I admit I don't know TeX very well.

The title of this thread is a bit misleading. My initial question wasn't
really about fonts, it was about publications. Anybody with the time and
inclination can make a font full of whatever symbols they like, but
existence of a font is not evidence of use in and of itself.

BTW, does anybody know how to contact Armando H. Marroquin? I have some
questions about his Chess Alfonso font. Musser Golladay's paper uses it,
but the promoted pawn symbol in that paper doesn't seem to be in the
freely available version of the font.
