Fun with MetaFun

Ah, I'll do some copy-and-paste below, see if it works at your place.

That's weird. Maybe you could make that line using \hrule and place it as a
logo. But Hans will probably see what's wrong in your file.

I'll download that sometime and just take out the tufte and other test text
files. Right now, my ConTeXt runs fine so I hesitate to experiment too much
by updating it all.

While re-making my own letterhead to work with ConTeXt, I enjoy more freedom
and I changed the logo. I kerned my initials fg to look like a logo ligature
and I wrapped that with a MetaFun line that gets randomized. Lots of fun,
now every one of my letters has a wild new logo line around the fg initials!
Sometimes it's like a big sloppy garbage bag around the initials, then it's
a highly artistic type of flag or the outlines of a continent... fun!
