My Context is the stand alone version for Windows which I downloaded from the Pragma site. I'm getting used to using the Scite = editor although it was a little difficult in the beginning. =20 Just now I'm putting together some short stories and am having fun = playing about with layout and using different kinds of fonts. Also I'm reading = 'The Elements of Typographic Style' by Robert Bringhurst which is absolutely superb! I would never have thought that a book on typography would be = so easy to read. In Bringhurst's book he mentions fleurons - "A = horticultural dingbat" which I would like to access. I have looked through the = Context manuals but with no success. Could someone give me some hints? Thanks Keith McKay Hamilton, Scotland --=20 No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
