I can not find such lines in the log file. Do you have some special 
switches?

delete the tma/tmc files for wasy10 from the luatex cache, the reside  
on my system under the path
/Users/wolf/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/

It's a solution for the available symbols what do you want to do when  
you want
to use a private symbol font where you don't have tfm files (type1,  
TT ... only)?

Maybe we can use the same trick that is used in math fonts (force tfm 
font)

\usesymbols[was]
\setupsymbolset [wasy astronomy]

\definefontsynonym [WaldiSymbol]     [wasy10.tfm]
\definefontsynonym [WaldiSymbolBold] [wasyb10.tfm]


\def\Sat{\symbol[saturn]}
\starttext
\Sat
\stoptext

So, symb-was can be changed accordingly.

Take a look at the log file when the font is read.

load afm | reading /Users/wolf/context/tex/texmf/fonts/afm/public/wasy/ 
wasy10.afm
load afm | unifying /Users/wolf/context/tex/texmf/fonts/afm/public/ 
wasy/wasy10.afm
afm glyph | assigning private slot U+F0000 for unknown glyph name AC
afm glyph | assigning private slot U+F0001 for unknown glyph name kreuz
...
afm glyph | assigning private slot U+F0016 for unknown glyph name saturn
...

ConTeXt tries to load the 'saturn' symbol as char89 but LuaTeX stores  
it at positon F0016.

\starttext
{\definedfont[file:wasy10]\char"F0016}
\stoptext

@Hans/Taco: Is this expected for symbol fonts and how should take care  
of this.

Wolfgang

It is good to know, that there is an alternative.
I will try it!

But what is wrong with my code? Why does it not work?

I think that it should be included in minimals.

Are there "standard" names for astronomy symbols (or a subset of them). If 
so, we can add the names to char-def. Then any font having these symbols 
would work without any changes.

This seems to a fairly complete computer modern like font. Thanks for the 
link.

astronomy symbols

[Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini]

Hallo,

I can not produce astronomy symbols.

I use:

LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.6-2009070100 (Web2C 2009)
ConTeXt  ver: 2009.06.14 21:01 MKIV  fmt: 2009.7.16  int: 
english/english

Here a testfile:
----------------------------------
\usesymbols[was]
\setupsymbolset [wasy astronomy]
\def\Sat{\symbol[saturn]}
\starttext
\Sat
\stoptext
----------------------------------

The testfile works ok with MK II
