Hi all,
Today I started preparations for my activities at the ConTeXt meeting.
There are two small lua tutorials in the program, and I am looking
for input on both. There is one that is supposed to be a general
beginner's introduction, and one specifically about fonts.
For both, I am looking for input on what subjects I should cover?
Since both tutorials will end up as articles/wiki pages, it makes
sense to ask everybody on the list for input (but requests by actual
attendees will be scored considerably higher).
Perhaps some example to modify a font at runtime? I don't know whether that's
possible at all, but if yes, it would be great to see how one could modify
kerning tables etc. Often a font needs to be groomed but its license places
some restrictions on modifying the file itself...

This is somewhat tricky. Actually I had a mechanism for that but I
discarded the code. However there will be a feature like that some day
as it needs a rather tight integration in the core of context's font
handling. (btw, there is a feature for type 1 fonts that adds 'missing'
kerns based on shape codes).
