OK, thanks. But AFAICS, there's only regular roman for free, so I  
doubt that it would be very useful.

Why not? It's PD. ;-)

I'd like to prepare some more symbol fonts - any requests?
(I always like to do nice font stuff while I should something more

Hm, thanks for the link, but I don't find this font very interesting.  
Do you?

I've a huge collection of fonts, and I guess I should finally update  
the ConTeXt font packages on my homepage and add some nice freeware  
fonts that aren't online anymore (or do you know a link of Apostrophe  
Lab?).

Hrm. Not normally, but as I've been tessellating Arabesque borders 
lately, the snow font did appeal to me on that level.

Ah, thank you!
Would be a real pity if they would've been lost.

BTW I just made a symbol set for HardTalk:

I won't post it here (there may be Apuricans on this list)...

Just checked:

$ unzip -l /tmp/apostrophe-avondale.zip  | grep map
$ unzip -l /tmp/apostrophe-covington.zip | grep map

=> Nothing. No map file in your zip ?

What about Apostrophic Labs' very nice "Hard Talk" (http:// 
www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=hard_talk) and "Maskalin" (http:// 
www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=maskalin), Font Environment's "20  
Faces" (http://www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=20faces) and "Tattoo  
No1 + No2" (http://www.dafont.com/en/font.php?file=tattoo_no1_no2),  
or Manfred Klein's "Celtish Parts" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/ 
designers/klein05/pic06/celtish_parts.htm) and "Roots of  
Matisse" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein/Fonteria_CD/ 
pages/roots.htm)?

On both websites there is a wealth of free typefaces, in particular  
Klein's site has an overwhelming abundance, which takes days to  
explore - even nice are his textfonts "Faustant" (http:// 
moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein04/text/faustant.htm) and  
"FaustItalic" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein04/text/ 
faustitalic.htm), "UglyQua" (http://moorstation.org/typoasis/ 
designers/klein04/text02/uglyqua.htm) and "Old Typefaces" (http:// 
moorstation.org/typoasis/designers/klein05/text/old_typefaces.htm).

PS: OK, I just noticed that Hraban already has done Hard Talk -  
thanks a lot!

There is a user group font cd project going on (planned launch eurotex 
2006). Any input/help is welcome.

http://fontcd.gust.org.pl/FrontPage

you can add links to free fonts there (on the links page)

- we need to make sure that they may be redistributed by user groups
- we need metrics and such

Thank you for the links, I'll look into it.
(But I don't think I'll do the masks/faces, I can't imagine any use  
for them. Or do you need them?)
BTW the pirate stuff by Klein is nice, I guess that'll make a  
package, arr matey!

I'm thinking about utilizing border fonts and how to make automatic  
frames for use with \framed (I guess that's still too hard for me,  
but let's see...)

think backgrounds and leaders:

\def\Border#1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8%
  {\vbox to \overlayheight \bgroup
     \offinterlineskip
     \setbox0=\hbox to \overlaywidth \bgroup

\def\FakeChar#1{\framed[width=.5cm,height=.5cm,offset=overlay]{#1}}

\defineoverlay
  [border]

    {\FakeChar{r}}
    {\FakeChar{\tx RB}}
    {\FakeChar{b}}
    {\FakeChar{\tx LB}}
    {\FakeChar{l}}]

\starttext

\framed[width=4cm,height=3cm,background=border]{}

\stoptext

if needed i can add something like Border to supp-fun or so ...

probably some scaling is involved as well

Thank you very much!

I'm just playing around with your code und found that rotate seems to  
set its angle globally:
In
     \definesymbol [CC ulp7]    [\CeltSymbol{81}]
     \definesymbol [CC urp7]    [{\rotate[270]{\CeltSymbol{81}}}]
     \definesymbol [CC lrp7]    [{\rotate[180]{\CeltSymbol{81}}}]
     \definesymbol [CC llp7]    [{\rotate[90]{\CeltSymbol{81}}}]
each of the rotated symbols is rotated 90°

What can I do?

use rotation=270 instead -)

in your case, also play with:

% \dostepwiserecurse{0}{360}{10}
%   {\startlinecorrection[blank]
%    \hbox
%      {\expanded{\setuprotate[rotation=\recurselevel]}%

thank you again.
Unfortunately I reckognized that the celtic border font that I tried  
to use has so bad metrics (irregular flesh around the glyph) that the  
task is impossible without adapting the font (and FontForge has no  
"fit bounding box" command)...
