[NTG-context] getting the glyph of a character

1 May 2017

      Dear all.

At page 50-52 of  the manual of metapost, “Mpman”, it is explained to get a glyph of font using the command ‘glyph'.
glyph ⟨numeric expression⟩ of ⟨string expression⟩ 

glyph ⟨string expression⟩ of ⟨string expression⟩ . 

Is it possible to do the similar thing in metafun?

I couldn’t make it happen using the following code.

\startbuffer[outline]
%fontmapfile "=lm-ec.map";
  picture q;
  path p;
  interim ahlength := 12bp;
  interim ahangle := 25;
  q := glyph 100 of "ArialMT"; %nfont defaultfont  scaled defaultscale;
 draw q;
\stopbuffer

\starttext
\processMPbuffer[outline]
\stoptext

if the first line “fontmapfile …” is alive, then fatal error occurred.
Without it, it is running without error, but no output at all.

I copied the sample code in mpman below.

Thank you for reading.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

    for j=0 upto length p:

      draw point j of p withcolor black;

The server uses
   RedirectMatch permanent ^(.*)$ http://wiki.contextgarden.net/$1
I'm looking for a better suggestion.

Wouldn't just
Redirect permanent / http://wiki.contextgarden.net/
do? (It may be recursive if the virtual host is the same.)
If not, how about:
RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*)$ http://wiki.contextgarden.net/$1
As a last resource, mod_rewrite should work:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^contextgarden\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://wiki.contextgarden.net/$1 [R=301,L]

Thank you for suggestions, I'll do some testing.
In case I forget, please remind me about this after the 4th May. We
currently have as good as no internet connectivity and I would hate to
break the server while experimenting and then being unable to do
anything afterwards.

Dear list,
Inspired by this question on TeX.SX https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/367433
How can I get the translated names for chapter and section depending on the currently active language.  I know they are there in lang-txt.lua, but cannot be accessed via \labeltext.  One can access them through Lua but that doesn't seem so elegant.
\def\chaptername{%
 \ctxlua{%
   context(languages.data.labels.texts.chapter.labels["\currentlanguage"])}}
\starttext
\language[en] \chaptername
\language[de] \chaptername
\stoptext
Cheers,
Henri

The problem are the
["hidden"]=true,
table entries for these labels, removing them would make the labels 
accessable.
