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). Nope I use the minimals for context, have TL laying around, but not using it right now....
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
Will give it a try, and hopefully it will work, but if not I hopefully can come back here... Greetings Martin ---- Inform all the troops that communications have completely broken down.
