Hello,
I'm using the following encoding commands
\usetypescript[modern-base][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[12pt,modern]
and was wondering whether someone knows an elegant way to get the pound
sign 'lb bar' (unicode #2114, html ℔).
My current hack looks like this:
\def\lbbar%
{%
\raise.28em\hbox{--}%
\kern-.535eml%
\kern-.1emb%
}
but I'm underwhelmed by the thinness of the bar ...
Thanks for any insights,
Joh

\hbox{\smash[w]{\raise.545em\hbox{\blackrule[width=.45em,height=.6pt]}}%
\kern-.035eml%
\kern-.075emb}%

Thanks. Fiddled some more and am using this now (all type-specific
measures):
\def\lbbar%
{%
\hbox{%
\smash[w]{%
\raise.535em%
\hbox{\blackrule[width=.45em,height=.04em]}%
}%
\kern-.035eml%
\kern-.075emb%
}%
}
Thank you for your help.
