If you want to use the current pdfTeX, take a look at
    http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/
    http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/lindsay/
I gave up once that I tried to follow because lcdftools which texfont
uses don't work well on Windows.

... or wait some months for the new pdfTeX or try XeTeX.

(In any case some typescripts, font variants, ... could be adapted for
the usage with ConTeXt.)

Open Type fonts and Context

[John R. Culleton]

Is there a guide for installing Open Type fonts for use in
Context?

You don't need lcdftools at all; in fact, I now avoid it for most  
installs. I find the easiest route is:

1. create an afm with "fontforge -c 'Open($1);Generate($2)' foo.otf  
foo.afm"

2. create a pl file with "afm2pl -p ENCODING.enc foo.afm ENCODING- 
foo.pl" (you'll need the file default.lig for this to work and modify  
it if need be); this step will also write an (incorrect) map file  
which you can edit;

3. pltotf ENCODING-foo.pl

I prefer this approach because it's more transparent than lcdftools.

I downloaded the guide and followed the directions carefully for
the antykwa otf font,  but as so often happens with texfont many
of the generated fonts could not be found and kpathsea tried to
create bitmaps instead. Here is the latest missfont.log:

----------------------------------
It may be attributable to the fact that texfont tries to update
maps that are particular to my login name rather than the
original ones in /usr/local/texlive/2005/texmf
I tried specifying the /usr/local/texlive/2005/texmf path but
that doesn't help either.

Maybe you must enable your local (user) texmf tree in texm.cnf.
Additionally I must always "sudo" texhash, because the main texmf  
trees are owned by root.
