For example: \useMPlibrary[mat] \definemathstackers [mp] [alternative=mp] \definemathextensible [mp] [leftarrow] ["2190] \definemathextensible [mp] [rightarrow] ["2192] \definemathextensible [mp] [leftrightarrow] ["2194] \definemathextensible [mp] [longleftrightarrow] ["27F7] \definemathextensible [mp] [rightoverleftarrow] ["21C4] \definemathextensible [mp] [underbrace] ["FE3DF] \setupbodyfont [dejavu-condensed,12pt] \starttext $\rightarrow{≠a}$ \stoptext Furthermore, the MP arrow can be tuned \startMPinitializations ahlength := .5EmWidth ; ahvariant := 1 ; % dimpled straight \stopMPinitializations as can line widths, etc. Alan ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
