MFLua is a new implementation of MetaFont which is 100% compatible with MetaFont 2.718281. It's still a proof-of-concept. For copyrights see README.orig . You need ConTeXt MKIV (see wiki.contextgarden.net) and a recent Linux 32 bit; there is already a mf executable available into the Work directory, so that it is not necessary to compile the code. The program is not even an alpha release, so definitively don't use it in a production environment. You can rebuild the mf program with $>cd Work/texk/web2c $> make mf
