Again, they require nothing but a standard Omega distribution so any one can compile them. I really hope to get my own fonts working with ConTeXt so I can move on to really learning the system. But I just can't bear going back to PlainFSS. Also, I could not fint type-buy in my ConTeXt distribution from TeX-Live from Sept.`01. Is it a new file? Finally, how hard would it be to write a perl script that can translate a LaTeX FD file into a typescript file? I'd do it, but I don't know Perl:-) I think an fd2typescript utility would be extremely useful. Or at least a document explaining how to port a generic fd file to typescripts. (If I ever figure this out I'd be glad to write such a how-to). So many of us (I presume) are migrating from LaTeX so an explanation of typescript files in comparison/contrast with fd fileswould help us a lot.
