A really long vacation ;-)
I'm afraid to ask: What about font expansion? ;-)
I will *try* to get back to this inbetween mplib work, as it is really just a bug that it doesn't work. But I'm afraid to make promises, as it turned out to be a lot more hairy then I expected originally thought. Sorry about the false hope.
Well, as soon as I have figured out how to correctly load OpenType fonts ... incidentally, that is an place the manual could use some work: Section 4.12.2 explains how to get a metrics table from an OpenType font -- but now, what this metrics table contains. That makes it quite difficult to convert it to a tfm font table.
There is a pretty long section on the fontforge font format, but it has almost no explanatory text yet. I'll be working on that. Best wishes, Taco
