tried to create pdftex-t.pdf from pdftex-t.tex at PRAGMA

[Thomas Porter]

Hello again!

After creating a wonderful presentation introducing TeX and friends for a local
Linux users using ConTeXt, I wanted to run the pdftex-t.tex file from Pragma
and see if I got the same thing as in the pdftex-l.pdf file.  (I like doing
this sort of thing when I find both the source and finished PDF file, since it
lets me see if my install is set up correctly.)

I got an error in ConTeXt pointing to the following as an undefined control
sequence:

\SubSub #1->$\blacktriangleright 
                               $

I think this blacktriangleright is part of AMS symbols, but how do I get
ConTeXt to know to use them? or might this be a font problem?  I am using teTeX
1.0 and ConTeXt from 10-24-99, pdftex 14.c.

Thanks,

--

To get AMS symbols try \setupbodyfont[ams]

With warm regards,

The manual uses lucida's, which have them build in. 

\setupbodyfont
  [lbr,10pt]

so, you have to change that into [ams,10pt]

(or add \setupbodyfont[ams] to cont-sys.tex). 

I'll patch the pdftex style. 

Hans
