Can the Zapf Dingbats font be used in MKIV? I can't do it work
I have downloaded the
symb-uni-zapf.zip<http://dl.contextgarden.net/websitesarchive/atl/tex/symb-uni-zapf.zip>
file
from http://dl.contextgarden.net/websitesarchive/atl/tex/. Then I unpacked
it and copied the .tfm, .enc and .map files in texmf-context/fonts as well
as symb-uzd.tex in texmf-context/tex/context/third
I then run
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
and
context --generate
I tried
usetypescriptfile[symb-uzd.tex]
\usesymbols[uzd]
\symbol[Unicode Shadowed Shapes][LowerRightDrop-shadowedWhiteSquare]
but it doesn't work. Any ideas?

Ok, thanks Luigi.
This is how I sorted it out, hope it may help someone. It looks like I
should write a typescript and a symbol definition file, but I new to this
and don't know how to do it yet.
This is a workaround for the meantime:
- Download the free True Type font "Zapf Dingbats BT" from
http://www.ufonts.com/fonts/zapf-dingbats-bt.html
- You should have got the file ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf or an EXE
file -an installer-
- In windows 7 it may be installed by clicking "install" -context menu,
right mouse click-
- Generate Context font database:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
- Check it's been read:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=zapf*
- You should have several lines like "zapfdingbatsbt
zapfdingbatsitcbybtregular
c:/windows/fonts/ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf"
- Finally this is how I get the characters I need:
\definefont[zapfdingbats][ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf at 10pt]
\starttext
Testing: {\zapfdingbats \char109} %shadowed white circle
\stoptext

Beware of sites like this. There are many commercial fonts there.

There is the typescript, but not
the afm/pfb/pfm files; they are at the ctan
( see for example
http://www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/fonts/urw/base35/
)
