Hi List, hi Hans,
I want to use the open source MetaFont for suetterlin and schwellbacher in a document, is there somewhere a guide where to put them and how to load them in ConTeXt or could they be included into the ConTeXt tree. If I get a hint how I would also provide a .map file for them if needed.
Using bitmap (metafont) fonts in context is not really supported, I think. ConTeXt MkIV at least seems to actively disable the .pk bitmap searching in luatex. Are you using texlive? (the font is available as a TL package). If so, then with an input like this \definefont[suetterlin][suet14 sa 1] \starttext {\suetterlin some text} \stoptext 'texexec' should work more or less out of the box. I said "more or less" because on some systems automatic pk generation is turned off, and then you may have to call mktexpk by hand, for example: $ mktexpk --dpi 514 --mag 12/14 --mfmode localfont suet14 Best wishes, Taco
