I think this question has popped up before, but I couldn't find
it. When I try to typeset any LaTeX document with the default T1
fonts, I get the following error:

! Font \T1/cmr/m/n/10=ecrm1000 at 10pt not loadable: metric data
not found or bad.

LuaTeX finds the file (as kpse.find_file shows) and in fact
it should find it, because I have a copy in the local directory.
If I switch to another font (ae, mathmazo, etc.) it works fine
and I was able to typeset several documents by using the
process_input_buffer to convert the 8-bit input to a pseudo
utf8 text which can be applied inputenc to (ie, with active
characters). Just a dirty trick, of course, but it worked.

Another question. Has someone attempted to make LuaTeX/LaTeX
compatible with existing T1 and the like fonts? (without using
active characters, I mean). After reading the manual for
0.29 I've inferred this part is still under development. 

I'm reading the lua files from ConTeXt, so I presume I'll
have more questions soon. Any further pointers? I'm
interested mainly in LaTeX (LuaLaTeX?).

Thanks
Javier
