No, I use commercial fonts with my own TFM/VF files. What I meant above is that I recently bought a sans serif variable font, that I would like to substitute for cms, but I don't know how to create TFM files for that. So, I require luatex if I want to use it. Apart from that I only expect minor differences, mainly because I don't have to split each font into several pieces. So I don't lose kerning information between glyphs from different pieces. Also TFM metrics support only a small number of different widths/heights. So the real metrics have to be rounded when generating TFM files. Achim
