Did you look at the symb-* files? There are several ways to define symbols, and if things are done all right, they even scale nicely with your fonts, adapt to style changes etc. [i even extended this a bit recently which will be in the next beta] >More in general, is there something like the LaTeX textcomp >package, for ConTeXt? i must admit that i have no cue about what this packages does >And finally: along the same line, some LaTeX package whose purpose >is the one to "complement" the Computer Modern font files with >"sensible" fonts so as to allow the same range of characters as >the European Computer Modern fonts, while still using free Type1 >fonts, use the cyrillic fonts (wn*) or the LaTeX Symbols (lasy) >fonts.

Anything of the sort for ConTeXt? could be handled by symbols too, the main point is "what should be a symbol" [maybe all non char/numbers/punct] and "what should be a char/glyph in a font" Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------
