The previous question, “getting help”, talked of the two major forums in which (La)TeX, MetaFont and MetaPost are discussed; however, these aren’t the only ones available.
The TUG web site offers many mailing lists other than just texhax via its mail list management page.
The French national TeX user group, Gutenberg, offers a MetaFont (and, de facto, MetaPost) mailing list, metafont@ens.fr: subscribe to it by sending a message
to sympa@ens.frsubscribe metafont
(Note that there’s also a MetaPost-specific mailing list available via the TUG list server; in fact there’s little danger of becoming confused by subscribing to both.)
Announcements of TeX-related installations on the CTAN archives are sent to the mailing list ctan-ann. Subscribe to the list via its MailMan web-site https://lists.dante.de/mailman/listinfo/ctan-ann; list archives are available at the same address. The list archives may also be browsed via http://www.mail-archive.com/ctan-ann@dante.de/, and an RSS feed is also available: http://www.mail-archive.com/ctan-ann@dante.de/maillist.xml
