Can I use metafont fonts with luatex?
they are independent entities, so the answer is yes
if you mean: can I include bitmaps, the answer is yes too (because the backend supports bitmaps -> type 3)
But please note that (from manual) "type3 fonts are provided for backward compatibility only, and do not support the new wide encoding options."
I've being learning metafont and I thought I could use luatex for enconding conveniences, like input in utf-8. Does that sentence mean I can't map utf-8 input to a metafont font? Thanks, Maurício
