Thank you. I'm trying to follow the most modern approach: OpenType features - if I manage to put the logic into the font, it's usable also with InDesign. Even if I don't know if ConTeXt (i.e. XeTeX/ LuaTeX) will handle stuff like alternative characters well. At the moment I'm struggling filling the GSUB tables with FontForge... (it's easy *if* you know exactly what you do) > PS "gothic latex" is an interesting search term :-) I guess one will find more black than letters and more masked than type faces. ;-) Greetlings from Lake Constance!
