Using Wolfgang Schuster's wonderful letter module, I enter my
signature with my name and title like so:
\setupletter[signature={Michael Green \\ Assistant Professor of
Philosophy}]
This used to produce a line break between "Green" and "Assistant" so
the output would look like this:
Michael Green
Assistant Professor of Philosophy
But it no longer does. Now it comes out like this:
Michael Green Assistant Professor of Philosophy
Is there a preferred way to accomplish the effect I want?
Thanks!
Michael

I uploaded a new version, if you have no time update for
the moment use \crlf as replacement.

Do you need lettersize for all your letters?

I am trying to insert unicode charater 217D (a cross) into a line of
text. I cannot figure out how to do it, or if it can be done. I use mkii
but could be convinced to move to mkiv if necessary.

You probably mean U+217D, not U+271D.
This is one of the famous Zapf dingbats, available in dedicated fonts;
you don't really need Unicode fonts in order to typeset it. Try the
instructions by Adam Lindsay
(http://web.archive.org/web/20061130021250/homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ZapfDingbats.pdf)
An alternative with Mark IV: just find a font that contains that
character. You can look for it with BabelPad on Windows /
UnicodeChecker on Mac OS / gucharmap on Linux. Then, just use the font
with the \definefont command.
Arthur

Thank you for the very quick answer. 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.

Can you send a precise example, specifying in particular the font you use?

\def\crosssign{\utfchar{"271D}}
You need only a font the symbol, if you have one there are different
ways to use it.
The simple solution:
\definefont[unicode][name:unicodesymbols*default]
\def\crosssign{\utfchar{"271D}}
\starttext
text {\unicode\crosssign} text
\stoptext
You can also include the font in the defintion of \crosssign.
The advanced solution:
\def\crosssign{\utfchar{"271D}}
\definefontsynonym[UnicodeSymbols][name:unicodesymbols*default]
\definefontfallback[symbols][UnicodeSymbols][dingbats]
\starttypescript [serif] [mine]
\definefontsynonym [Serif] [TeXGyrePagella-Regular]
[fallbacks=symbols]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface [mine] [rm] [serif] [mine] [default]
\setupbodyfont[mine]
\starttext
text \crosssign\ text
\stoptext
You need a few more lines for the setup because you need
a new typescript.

You need a font with the character or use fallbacks.
@Hans: Shouldn't the output contain a notdef char.
