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 ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
