Thanks Mojca for your reply, will see what I get, and perhaps there is a way for me to produce a usable fontstyle and map that I can provide for ConTeXt.

Hi List, hi Hans,
I want to use the open source MetaFont for suetterlin and
schwellbacher in a document, is there somewhere a guide where to put
them and how to load them in ConTeXt or could they be included into
the ConTeXt tree. If I get a hint how I would also provide a .map
file for them if needed.
Using bitmap (metafont) fonts in context is not really supported, I
think. ConTeXt MkIV at least seems to actively disable the .pk bitmap
searching in luatex.
Are you using texlive? (the font is available as a TL package).
If so, then with an input like this
\definefont[suetterlin][suet14 sa 1]
\starttext
{\suetterlin some text}
\stoptext
'texexec' should work more or less out of the box.
I said more or less because on some systems automatic pk generation is
turned off, and then you may have to call mktexpk by hand, for example:
$ mktexpk --dpi 514 --mag 12/14 --mfmode localfont suet14
Best wishes,
Taco

Nope I use the minimals for context, have TL laying around, but not
using it right now

Will give it a try, and hopefully it will work, but if not I hopefully
can come back here...
