Thank you very much for your help. For my purpose the "dumb Plain TeX solution" that Michael Rogers suggested works better as the distances between the figures are short enough to make it look like one symbol. Which is the way I prefer it in this sort of text. Thanks again, Kind regards, Robert ___________________________________________________________________________________ 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 : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
