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

Re: [NTG-context] pk-directory

if the font is only available as PK, it should be possible to make it into an OpenType font, using FontForge, for example. I'm not sure maybe with mftrace http://lilypond.org/mftrace/ I would imagine one day luatex being able to read metafont fonts's, pass them through mplib to generate
