\star not working

\star not working

> Use $\star$ or \symbol[star].

Thanks, but both will use the math font (in my case: https://github.com/khaledhosny/euler-otf) which doesn't have this symbol.

Missing character: There is no ⋆ (U+22C6) in font euler!

Using "\star" only worked as a workaround until recently.

I'm not doing anything wrong here, am I?

I'm looking at:
---
\usetypescript[palatino]
\definetypeface [palatino] [mm] [math]   [euler] [euler][rscale=1.03]
\definetypeface [boldmath] [mm] [boldmath][euler][euler][rscale=1.03]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,11pt]
\starttext
$\star$
\symbol[star]
\star
\stoptext
---

This came up a while ago, I believe this is the solution:

Reading this quoted line, I am guessing you are using the reply to

Thanks.

So if I want to typeset the star in non-math mode instead, how do I do that?

I just tested it (\star) with "version: 2011.06.19 14:17", and there it works.
With "version: 2011.06.20 10:47" it doesn't.

I'd welcome that, seeing that we already have textbullet.

char-def.lua, line 56213:
+  contextname="textstar",

U+22C6

Pagella has it and with “\setupsymbolset[text]” context looks first if the text font has it before it tries to take it from the math font.

\setupbodyfont[pagella-euler]
\setupsymbolset[text]
\starttext
\symbol[star]
\stoptext

Could we just add a \textstar in char-def.lua? (And maybe use that to 
redefine \symbol[star])

22C6, same as \star. Another option is to define symbol[star] directly 
using ⋆ (0x22C6 glyph).

Not all fonts (e.g. Latin Modern) have the symbol and this is why context takes it from the math font. With \setupsymbolset[text] the symbol *is* taken from the text font when available and the math font is used as fallback.

I know, sorry about that, but I couldn't figure out why this doesn't work when I'm at the university.
Any hints appreciated (for outlook web).
