But in that case the wiki needs to be corrected. I have tried various fonts, including charterbt, calibri (ttf) and so on. I get the called-for font but the sequences for curly double quotes, in use since Ramses II, give me either two back ticks followed by two forward ticks, (calibri) or two back ticks followed by an inch symbol (charterbt). So this defect is not limited to one font. My main file is as follows: \input macros.tex \usemodule [simplefonts] \setmainfont [calibri] \starttext \input body.tex \stoptext and macros.tex looks like this: \setupoutput[pdftex] \definepapersize[bok][width=7.0in,height=10.0in] %\setuppapersize[bok][letter] \setuppapersize[bok][bok] \setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]% \setupwhitespace[line] \setuptyping[style=small] Anyone else have this problem? -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/4055.html Typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/ ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
