  The MM Menu provides a few commands for manipulating
  <A HREF="multiplemaster.html#MM">Multiple Master or Apple distortable
  fonts</A>. If the current font is a MM itself font the menu also includes
  a list of all font instances that make up this one. This menu is available
  in the <A HREF="mmmenu.html#fontview">font view</A> and the
  <A HREF="mmmenu.html#outline-char">outline glyph view</A>.
