The code from Adam looked a >bit daunting to me as a learner at first but when I changed [pzdr] to [uzdr] >it worked fine. Oh good. The available fonts and metrics (sadly) vary with every distribution, so that's a hard thing to get right. Sorry the code was dense. If you want it broken down and explained, let me know. > I attach the output from Adam's code which also includes >his query about symb-run in a previous message. Hope this is of use. From >the further discussion between them I hope I didn't open a can of worms. The attachment was probably too big for the list--if you want another pair of eyes on it, feel free to send it off-list. >One last question. I did a search on the web for fleuron fonts and came up >with a few interesting hits. Yeah, I picked up the Fleurons of Hope recently, and have been thinking of interesting ways to use it in ConTeXt. >To use these in Context is it a case of >following the 'Texfont explained' and 'Fonts in Context' manuals?
