Hi ho,

I need some symbols from a font, but they are too small in comparison  
to my text font. (It used to look right once, maybe now some font  
feature is handled different.)
I know only the scaling options in type scripts, but how can I scale  
my glyphs in this setup?
(minimals, latest beta, mkIV)


\definefontsynonym [Symbola] [file:Symbola.otf]

\def\UnicodeSymbol#1{\getglyph{Symbola}{\utfchar{#1}}}

\def\born{\leavevmode\raise0.09em\hbox{\UnicodeSymbol{"2733}}}


\definefontsynonym is missing in the command reference.

\def\UnicodeSymbol#1{\getscaledglyph{Symbola}{1.2}{\utfchar{#1}}}

Thank you, looks good, but doesn't work for me:

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
                    S
<argument> S
             ymbola
\symbolicsizedfont ...ontsize #1\scaledfontsize #2
                                                   \scaledfontsize  
\font \the...
\getscaledglyph ...->{\symbolicscaledfont {#1}{#2}
                                                   \doifnumberelse  
{#3}\char ...
l.21 \getscaledglyph{Symbola}{3.0}{A}


"{A}" was only a test, since it didn't work with \utfchar either, same  
error.
Looks like \getscaledglyph doesn't take my font definition?

It works but the argument need to be given in a different order, you need:

\def\UnicodeSymbol#1{\getscaledglyph{<factor>}{<font>}{<char>}}

Aaargh, I looked at the source, but didn't see that. Thank you!
