They always have a beatifull caligraphic style, are they usually done with tools like metafont or you just draw then on the screen?

Using those options, can I do everything I want with fonts? Like japanese kanji, or arabic text where the shape of a glyph depends on next and previous ones?

[NTG-context] Directories of pictures
Hi, When I use \externalfigure inside of \placefigure, Context can only find filenames in the current directory, i.e., the directory where I'm executing texexec.
