Run mf \mode=localfont; input test.mf on the following file:
mode_setup;
beginchar("e",10pt#,7.5pt#,2.5pt#);
pickup pencircle scaled (.4pt+blacker);
draw fullcircle scaled .2w shifted (w/2,(h+d)/2-d);
draw fullcircle scaled .6w shifted (w/2,(h+d)/2-d);
draw fullcircle scaled w shifted (w/2,(h+d)/2-d);
endchar;
end
Now run mpost test.mp on the following file:
prologues := 3;
beginfig(1);
label.lrt(btex fontx=test x e etex, (0,0));
endfig;
end
Output contains this warning:
Warning: font test cannot be found in any fontmapfile!

As well as putting the .tfm and .pk files in the right place: texfaq.org/FAQ-instmffont , you need to update the psfonts map files which metapost uses. The MP log will tell you which one you are using.

But in the example you show it would be much simpler just to draw directly in Metapost rather than making a font and using that via TeX....

@Thruston Current directory is always searched by default (in TexLive at least).

@Thruston I need to use a pk font which does not exist as pfb. This metafont character is just an example.

right - but you need to have a line in psfonts.map that points to your pk font.
