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. The link to the fonts is http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/sueterlin.html Greetings and thanks for the fast help I get here in gerneral... -- Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz Auf dem Sattler 4 34516 Ederbringhausen Germany Phone: +49 6454 799623 mobile: +49 176 63301749 Fax: +49 6454 7990138 e-Mail: scholz.m82@googlemail.com ++?????++ Out of Cheese Error.

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

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.

Metafont fonts won't work in minimals unless you want to fiddle with the system on your own. We don't ship the needed binaries to start with ... Mojca

Thanks Mojca for your reply, will see what I get, and perhaps there is a way for me to produce a usable fontstyle and map that I can provide for ConTeXt. Greetings -- Martin 'golodhrim' Scholz e-Mail: scholz.m82@googlemail.com BOFH Excuse #176: vapors from evaporating sticky-note adhesives
