How do I see all symbols in a symbolset. With

\starttext
\showsymbolset[uni]
\showsymbolset[nav]
\stoptext

I get a blank page.

Symbol sets do not have a strict relation to file names.
"symb-nav.tex", for instance, defines three symbol sets:
"navigation 1", "navigation 2" , "navigation 3".

   \starttext
   \showsymbolset[navigation 1]
   \showsymbolset[navigation 2]
   \showsymbolset[navigation 3]
   \stoptext

IIRC, some of the Unicode symbol sets require commercial fonts
(from MacOS X).

Cheers, Taco

Thanks. I will look in the sym-* files for names of other symbolsets.

Eh, "require" is such a strong word... There are some placeholders in 
there, since the Mac OS X fonts were easy (for me) to get. The XeTeX 
code that named the fonts explicitly (hmm, bad old assumption now...) 
was set off in a conditional in the hopes that a more general solution 
would come along...

When the dust from eurotex2006 settles down, I hope to have a look at
this. I have some half-finished fonts for unicode symbols lying around
that could perhaps be extended. Remind me in a month or so?

I did this and the wasy symbols come out nicely:
\usemodule[symb-was]
\showsymbolset [wasy general]

What I can think of: a module that has to be loaded as in the above  
example.
Hope this helps.
