Hi all,
could someone bring light into the way how to use symbols…in MKIV
I wanted to extract a symbol from uzdr (Zapfdingbats).
In MIII the that worked like this:
\definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr]
\definesymbol[box][\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char113}]
In MKIV this is not the case.
I tried to find out with the font-manual, unfortunately it only shows the
content of the symb-imp-eur.mkiv. I tried to find the fonts mentioned in that
file, but miserably failed.
I tried different approaches but get now result, except for the black diamond,
but this is defined internally in ConTeXt (\definesymbol[blackdiamond]
[\textormathchar{"2666}].
\definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr]
\definefontsynonym[MSAM][msam10]
\definesymbol[boxA] [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char113}] %Seems to be
changed...
\definesymbol[boxB] [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char"274F}] % U+0274F,
00052, a74
\definesymbol[cuttingscissors] [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\utfchar{"2701}}]
\definesymbol[blackdiamond] [\textormathchar{"2666}]
\definesymbol[blackdiamondvar][\textormathchar{"25C6}]
\definesymbol[diamondfilled] [\getglyph{MSAM}{\utfchar{"F0067}}]
\starttext
Thanks for support…
Willi
