Same here, but I found it easier to convert my fonts to OpenType by
loading them into fontforge and doing Save As...
I still have a mystery regarding the type 1 fonts installed with
GhostScript, though:
\definetypeface [dingbats][ss][sans][dingbats][default]
\starttext
{\dingbats \uchar{39}{7}\uchar{39}{13}\uchar{39}{42}}
\stoptext
produces no visible output, yet...
$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=dingbat*
dingbats dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm
dingbatsnormal dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm
$ ls /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l*
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.pfb
/usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.pfm
$
This is with minimals and LuaTeX on Ubuntu. Get info on the PDF in
Okular shows no Type 1 fonts embedded.
(Also, is uchar intended to be a documented feature?)
