I believe the current easiest to get up and running TeX/LaTeX solution for Windows is MikTeX. <http://miktex.org/>

I don't know if it comes with the METAFONT utilities for creating a font though. Then again I haven't looked too hard since it has xeLaTeX which means "balls to it, I'm using OpenType!" (And there was much rejoicing, as Computer Modern was replaced by Adobe Garamond Premier
Pro.)

But I digress.

Wow, is that some list.  In my era it was a *lot* shorter, by orders of magnitude.  The list does include these:

miktex-metafont-base 		METAFONT base
miktex-metafont-bin-2.9 	METAFFONT binaries
miktex-metafont-misc 		METAFONT misc

(and: logic 	A font for electronic logic design)

(and what's not to like about: comicsans 	Use Microsoft Comic Sans font)
