Coming from a latex education, I am trying to insert the following symbols:

section (\S)
paragraph (\P)
yen (\yen)

Are they already defined in Context? Is there a standard way to access
them?

Thanks in advance.

Emmanuel

Hi all,

could someone bring light into the way how to use symbols…in MKIV

I wanted to extract a symbol from uzdr (Zapfdingbats).

In MIII the that worked like this:

\definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr]
\definesymbol[box][\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char113}]

In MKIV this is not the case.
I tried to find out with the font-manual, unfortunately it only shows the content of the symb-imp-eur.mkiv. I tried to find the fonts mentioned in that file, but miserably failed.

I tried different approaches but get now result, except for the black diamond, but this is defined internally in ConTeXt (\definesymbol[blackdiamond]    [\textormathchar{"2666}].

\definefontsynonym[Dingbats][uzdr]
\definefontsynonym[MSAM][msam10]

 
\definesymbol[boxA]            [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char113}] %Seems to be changed...
\definesymbol[boxB]            [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\char"274F}] % U+0274F, 00052, a74
\definesymbol[cuttingscissors] [\getglyph{Dingbats}{\utfchar{"2701}}]
\definesymbol[blackdiamond]    [\textormathchar{"2666}]

\definesymbol[blackdiamondvar][\textormathchar{"25C6}]
\definesymbol[diamondfilled]  [\getglyph{MSAM}{\utfchar{"F0067}}]

\starttext

Thanks for support…

Willi
