Dangerous bend sign in mkiv

Dangerous bend sign in mkiv

[Otared Kavian]

Hi,

Is there a way to get the dangerous bend sign (which exists in the Donald Knuth’s manfnt) in mkiv?
The following (given by one of our gurus and dating back to sevral years) works fine in mkii, but I don’t know how to translate it in mkiv…

%%% begin dangerous-bend.tex
\loadmapfile [manfnt.map]
\definefontsynonym [bends] [manfnt]

\def\GetSym#1{\getglyph{bends}{\char#1}}

\startsymbolset [Dangerous Bends]
    \definesymbol [dbend]       [\GetSym{127}]
    \definesymbol [lhdbend]     [\GetSym{126}]
\stopsymbolset

\setupsymbolset [Dangerous Bends]

\setupbodyfont[manfnt]

\starttext
\symbol{dbend}
\blank[big]

\symbol{lhdbend}
\stoptext
%%% end dangerous-bend.tex

Thanks in advance: OK

\definefontsynonym [bends] [file:manfnt.afm]

\startsymbolset [Dangerous Bends]
     \definesymbol [dbend]   [\resolvedglyphdirect{bends}{n:char_7e}]
     \definesymbol [lhdbend] [\resolvedglyphdirect{bends}{n:char_7f}]
\stopsymbolset

\setupsymbolset [Dangerous Bends]

\starttext
     \symbol{dbend}\quad \symbol{lhdbend}
\stoptext

Thanks Hans! That’s great indeed!

I put on the wiki your code 

	http://wiki.contextgarden.net/symbolset

but could not explain where to find the information which tells us that the desired characters are
\resolvedglyphdirect{bends}{n:char_7e} and \resolvedglyphdirect{bends}{n:char_7f}.

Best regrads: OK

just look in the afm file and then trial and error
