Subject: Placing a scaled symbol within the flow of text
Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2005 17:01:18 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A78B8B834217341AA3152A47BB3C44701F23FFA@CAPITACAREXCH01.central.ad.capita.co.uk> (raw)
Hi all,
I am attempting to insert a symbol at a reduced size within the
text flow but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
I've included my test script below.
\starttext
\definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr]
\definesymbol[filledSq][\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char110}]
\def\FilledSq{\symbol[filledSq]}
\def\FilledSquare{\scale[height=0.5ex]{\symbol[filledSq]}}
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]
\startlines
\FilledSq Here is a line
This is one line
and this should be another
\FilledSq Hello again
\FilledSquare and again!!
and here are some more lines
this is the last one
\stoplines
\stoptext
When a \FilledSq is inserted, the text which follows appears
on the same line but when a \FilledSquare is inserted the text
which follows appears on the line below. I'm probably using
\scale in an inappropriate way and I'm sure don't know my
\vbox's from my \hbox's!
Any examples of how to reduce the size of a glyph whilst
still being able to insert it as a normal character in the
text flow would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark Pearson
