Actually, point 1 should read "TFM fileS", because in LaTeX a font is in fact two tfm's. For example, a text in Latin script uses T1 (letters) and TS1 (symbols). This is the way to go, it seems. But just for not reinventing the wheel, has someone worked on that? >> I'm reading the lua files from ConTeXt, so I presume I'll >> have more questions soon. Any further pointers?

I'm reading font-def.lua too. Very likely many techniques are format independent. In fact, this is one of the aims stated in luatools.lua: -- Although this script is part of the ConTeXt distribution it is -- relatively indepent of ConTeXt. The same is true for some of -- the luat files. We may may make them even less dependent in -- the future. (Thank you for this, Hans.)
