I am still quite inexperienced with ConTeXt. I found the following document:
http://statweb.calpoly.edu/jdoi/web/reference/symbols-a4.pdf
It is for LaTeX, but I can not find ConTeXt specific stuff. In table 188
there is a smiley. This brought me to to following:
\starttext
\usesymbols[wasy]
\symbol[was][smiley]
\symbol[was][qed]
\showsymbolset[general]
% \showsymbolset[music]
% \showsymbolset[astronomy]
% \showsymbolset[astrology]
% \showsymbolset[geometry]
% \showsymbolset[physics]
% \showsymbolset[apl]
\stoptext
The smiley does not display, instead I get the text smiley. Also it is not
shown with the \showsymbolset. Why?
Is there any documentation about how to work –for example– with the dingbats
font. At the moment I am just feeling like shooting in the dark. :-{
When knowing how to do it, I could try to make a smiley module. ;-}
By the way: do I understand correctly that with \showsymbolset the second
column shows how the character is displayed and the third columns shows the
used space for the character?
