Subject: Size of itemize symbols
Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2019 08:30:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <834a4910-e5eb-1a34-5345-7531bccf109f@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

the change from a while ago to get the symbols for bullet etc. from the 
text font when available
leads to where unpleasant results for a few fonts. A good example for 
this are first level items
where the symbol is too symbols in my opinion which looks even worse for 
smaller font sizes.

While I can understand the change to use the text font for the symbols I 
miss a simple way
to switch back to the math font for the symbols, e.g. \usesymbols[math].


\starttext

\startitemize[packed]
\item First item
\item Second item
\item Third item
\stopitemize

\startitemize[packed]
\sym{\m{\bullet}} First item
\sym{\m{\bullet}} Second item
\sym{\m{\bullet}} Third item
\stopitemize

\blank

Latin Modern: \symbol[bullet] \m{\symbol[bullet]}

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

TeX Gyre Pagella: \symbol[bullet] \m{\symbol[bullet]}

\setupbodyfont[dejavu]

DejaVu Serif: \symbol[bullet] \m{\symbol[bullet]}

\stoptext


Wolfgang
