I've added a Metafont example to my page:
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html#newfont-mf
I don't know much about Metafont, and your comments (as always) are
welcome.
In particular, I have two questions:
(1) I don't specify encoding, because I'm not sure how encoding
interacts with MF. Is it even required? The typescript works without
encoding references.
(2) texexec + pdftex do not generate .pk files like xdvi does. Is that
an option I've missed? In the example I give I first create a .dvi
version of the file and have xdvi create the .pk files, which then can
be read by pdftex.
