I have not heard of an Armenian.  I try to keep my ear to the ground
about Oriental fonts.

Definitely use Metafont.  Armenian has such lovely thick, calligraphic
strokes.  It would be a super font to do with Metafont.

You get everything you need to use Metafont in the emTeX distribution from
Eberhard Mattes (assuming you use a PC).  Then you need the Metafontbook
by Knuth.  Finally, I would strongly recommend the introduction to 
MF written by Doug Henderson.  It is very clear and helpful.  You can
get all these things through the TeX users group.

Good luck, and keep us informed!
