It's not because of the existing bitmap fonts. I like the idea of writing my own font, and metafont seems like a pretty nice system to do that.
Ok.

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) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

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

sure you can as you can make a virtual font out of the metafont Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
