I have been using symbols (such as "Fleuron") from the gtamacfonts in an
annual publication.
Trying to change to mkiv: what exactly should I do to install them? So
far, my attempts were not successful. (Attempts meaning: copying the tt
fonts and the type- and other files that seem to have anything to do
with it into my minimal installation, reloading the fonts and remaking
the formats).
Thanks, Jörg

The answer is short and will be disappointing: gtamacfonts was
developed for mkii and will not work with mkiv. If you want just a
couple of symbols, it should be easy to write a few macros to get
them, but the motivation behind gtamacfonts was just to make these
fonts available for TeX, and with mkiv, they are available.
ALl best

Thanks -- I did expect something of the kind. I need just "Fleuron" and
"Crown"; could you give me a hint as to where I should look for an
example -- a macro doing the same thing, something that could get me going?
Cheers, Jörg

The easies way would be:
\define\Fleuron%
{\getglyph{name:hoeflertextornaments}{\char61522}}
If you want to know the numbers of the different ornaments: open the
file hoeflertextornaments.tma, which will be in your luatex-cache,
under fonts/otf. There's a section "unicodes" where you'll find all
the names and the corrresponding values. (There's probably a more
elegant way of achieving this, but that's what I used.)
If you want more than just a few glyphs, you can also define a
symbolset from Hoefler Ornaments, see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols
