Great, that looks really good!

What I still do not understand is why it is needed to specify enc=csr. 
Encoding vector is present in PFB file.

Also, I have another question, is there ability to load PK font file 
(generated from MetaFont)? Specifying metric file (tfm) and encoding 
vector (enc) should work similarly (or maybe same?) as for Type 1 PFB 
font.

If one is working, others must too.

Where I can find your changes, so I could test it? Ideally if I could 
download tex/lua files into working directory and use system luatex 
instead building whole texlive and luatex from some sources...
