Convert MF to OTF

Can you convert MF to OTF?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert MF to OTF?
No - not a direct conversion.

There is no clean one-click .mf -> OpenType converter. Metafont describes glyphs procedurally as bitmaps; producing an outline font (mftrace + autotrace/FontForge, or a hand-built outline source) is a specialist workflow, not a simple conversion.
