Does ConTeXt always needs an afm-file for the metrics of an

Shouldn't DANTE launch a pet project and convert the font to OpenType?
(That should be 10-60 minutes of work for somebody familiar with
fonts.)
But yes, as Hans replied, you need afm file. pdfTeX gets all the font
metric data from tfm files, while ConTeXt MKIV prefers to be able to
use more than 256 characters when they are available in Type1 font (it
doesn't need or read enc, map, vf and tfm files).
thanks,
I converted it with fontforge to otf. Now I get
v...@shania:/opt/context> mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
--pattern=*dante*
dante dante DANTE.otf
dantenormal dante DANTE.otf
Is this the intended behaviour, that the afm files are now no
more listed? without the otf version the output is:
v...@shania:/opt/context> mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
--pattern=*dante*
dante dante dante.afm
dantenormal dante dante.afm
indeed, as the names are the same, otf takes precedence over type one
