Karl Berry submitted an update to the
modes
package.

Summary description: A collection of Metafont mode_def’s
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This tiny update to modes.mf adds an alias "pdf" for "dpdfezzz",
for simpler use on the Metafont command line.
The modes.mf file collects all known Metafont modes for printing or
display devices, of whatever printing technology. Special provision is
made for write-white printers, and `landscape' support is available for
making suitable fonts for printers with non-square pixels.
The file also provides definitions that make \specials identifying the
mode in Metafont's GF output, and put coding information and other
Xerox-world information in the TFM file.
Feel free to send me or tex-k@tug.org (visit https://lists.tug.org/tex-k
for archives and subscriptions) any questions, comments, bug reports, or
new modes.
The only web page is on CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/modes
