Also, did you notice that the tail of the Q on the left curls back on itself more than the one on the right? At least, there's a critical point on the right side of its tail that's rather further down than on the right-hand Q, which doesn't occur until the nearly-circular curve at the end of the tail. So, I'm going to guess that the left-hand Q is the one generated by mftracing Knuth's very own Q. (I might be giving mftrace a more credit than it's due ;-) Hmm, very nice, but how many points does each outline have?
