You have to use math mode to show the symbol but not every font contains it.

\setupbodyfont[xits]

\starttext
$ \bigstar \quad ★ $
\stoptext

The better solution is to use a symbol font like Font Awesome [1] which 
contains the symbol you want to use.

Hello,

thank you, that's great.

One more question - how to use another symbol, "bigstar" (see "symbols-a4.pdf" 
or the attached image)?

I tried the following code, but with no success:


\starttext
Ttt \symbol[bigstar]

Aaa \bigstar

Bbb \symbol[mathabx][bigstar]

\stoptext


Best regards,

Lukas

Hello,

how to typeset "centerd asterisk" ("*") in Ctx?

I mean the symbol which is used in the third level of itemization 
(http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Enumerations) or which can be typeset by 
\textasteriskcentered in LaTeX.

(I cannot find the symbol definition in Ctx itemize-command definition (source files) and 
simple writing "\textasteriskcentered" doesn't work.)


The symbols in different itemise levels can be shown with \symbol[1], 
\symbol[2] etc. but since these numbered symbols can be redefined it is better 
to use the named symbol to access the star with \symbol[star].

The following example shows a few of the predefined symbols.

 The latex symbol list says that these are from the mathabx font. AFAIK,
 this font is not currently supported by ConTeXt. Adding support should be
 doable, but I am not sure what is the best way to support it. I do
 not know if this family is a complete replacement for CM (and LM) fonts,
 or only some symbols are provided.

 next week. The font claims to provide plain tex support, so it should be

That looks like a normal asterisk to me. See \Asterisk on page 22 of

Why so complicated, * did also work with Latin Modern and the other fonts.

I prefer \definesymbol [asterisk] [\char"2A\relax] and \symbol{asterisk},
you're way is also possible but
\startencoding[default]
\definecharacter Asterisk \char"2A
\stopencoding
is also possible.

The unicode chart show a few more asterisk variatione in the dingbats section:

It makes sense to take first a look at the unicode charts if the character has
a representation in the list and choose a font (e.g. Unicode.otf) with
the symbol.

you can peek in the symb-* files; if it's math then maybe in the 
math-ams file

[NTG-context] \Asterisk

2008-05-23 Thread Jesse Alama
I was working on a document in which I wanted use a symbol that,
acording to the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List, goes by the name of
\Asterisk or \bigast (see p. 22).  I saw, though, that this seems to be
missing in ConTeXt.  Might it be tucked away in some module, or is it
just absent?  If it's really not there, what would it take to add it?

Thanks,

Jesse

PS Is there such a thing for ConTeXt as the Comprehensive Symbol List
for LaTex?
