Hello,
I have some troubles using the Symbola font mentioned some time ago on
the mailing list (http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/Symbola602.zip). It
seems like the font metrics are loaded correctly, but the glyphs in
the pdf appear approximately half the size, leaving white space above
and next to it.
Here is a minimal example:
\starttext
Gg {\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf]Gg} Gg
\stoptext
If I use \definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2], the glyphs are more
or less the good size, but the metrics are way too large. I have no
problems with this font in OpenOffice.
Any ideas?
Vianney

How old is your luatex and context combination? It sounds like a bug we fixed a while ago (the font is probably a postscript font with an abnormal units per em setting)
Best wishes,
Taco

Thanks for your answer. I'm using the latest context beta minimals
(updated today): ConTeXt - 2011.02.11 18:18 and LuaTeX-0.65.0. Is
there a newer version fixing the problem?

No, it's a truetype font with 2048 UnitsPerEm.
This font has not kerning at all: it is only usable as .. symbol ! :-)

It is indeed what I want: use it as a symbol font. But even when
trying to access symbols like this:
\definesymbol[Masks][{\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa *]\char"1F3AD}]
I still have the problem that the glyphs are too small. Do you have a
better way to access the symbols and have them at the right size?
Thanks,
Vianney

It is an error in the context font loader, apparently. It seems it
assumes that .otf == postscript. Something for Hans to look at.
Renaming the font to Symbola602.ttf is a usable workaround (but you
have to clear the font cache).
Best wishes,
Taco

\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2]
seems ok.
Try
\setupbodyfont[18pt]
\starttext
Gg {\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2]Gg} Gg
M{\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2 ]\char"1F3AD}M
and change
\setupbodyfont
to differents sizes.
Symbols should look ok.
\stoptext

This workaround works perfectly. Now I can use all those neat symbols.
Hartelijk bedankt.

The problem with "sa 2" is that the lineheight becomes too large and
there is a lot of space at the right of the symbol. The glyphs look
alright, but the metrics are twice too big.
Renaming the file to .ttf as Taco suggests works fine though. Thanks
both for your help.

It seems something wrong with otf loader, as taco wrote
\setupbodyfont[18pt]
\definefont[Sym][file:Symbola602.otf sa 2]
\starttext
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAA\ruledhbox{\Sym\char"1F3AD}AAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAA
\stoptext
