guillemets and plr10 font

guillemets and plr10 font

[Denis B. Roegel]

I just noticed that French guillemets are taken from the Polish fonts.
This is fine, but can this be changed if one doesn't have these fonts?

Here is an example file, and what happens when these fonts are
not installed:

\enableregime[il1]
\useencoding[ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]
\starttext

« guillemets »

\stoptext

systems        : begin file test6 at line 4
kpathsea: Running mktextfm  plr10
mktextfm: Running mf \mode:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input plr10
This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)

kpathsea: Running mktexmf  plr10
! I can't find file `plr10'.
<*> ...e:=ljfour; mag:=1; nonstopmode; input plr10

Thanks,

Denis

Attached to this mail are two ConTeXt modules I use to get the
guillemots from the LaTeX symbol files or the WNC fonts. They have
not yet been adapted to the latest ConTeXt guillemots management,
but they seem to work more or less fine even with the latest
ConTeXt.

%D duplicating the single one, shifted by half their size

\newdimen\LeftLasyShift

%D Since different sizes require different shifts, we have to

these fonts are on tex live

also, there's a dante/gutenberg/ntg project in progress to replace all the 
cmr instances (plr,crs,aer) by one type1 (non virtual) font that will have 
all characters (also euro) so that there is a good fallback
