I read Mr. Lindsay's instruction. It worked, and quite easily. I also tried to just use the character in mkiv. That didn't work. However, in mkii, I tried the following: \usesymbols[uzd] \definecharacter crosssign {\uchar{39}{29}} \starttext Here is the \crosssign\ in a sentence. \stoptext That worked too, and seems easier. I would like to figure it out it mkiv as well. I type the character in VIM, but it showed up as a space in the PDF. -Erich ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
