Hi all,
can anyone tell me how the following unicode characters can be accessed
with ConTeXt?
“ - left double quotation mark
„ - double low 9 quotation mark
In LaTeX I used the \grqq- and \glqq-macros.
In addition, I have difficulties in accessing the Euro character. The
proposed method
\usesymbols[euro] and the later use of
\euro or \texteuro
does not work. I get the message
\definedfont=eurose at 14.39996pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found.
What steps do I have to perform in order to install that font correctly?
Thanks for your attention and effort,
--Stefan

Try \quotedblleft and \quotesinglebase
I find it useful to produce pdfs for the fonts that I use most often
which will show these symbols. This would be an example for an input
file:
\usemodule[fnt-01]
\starttext
\ShowFont[Charter][bchr8r][ec]
\stoptext
This will show you all the symbols and glyphs available and how they
can be obtained.
All best
Thomas

Use logical markup:
\quotation{That’s quoted in double quotes}, \quote{and that’s in single
quotes}.
You get right quotation marks if you setup the right language:
\setupmainlanguage[de]
If you need foreign quotes for longer citations, just switch the
language:
{\fr \quotation{C’est la vie!}}

That seems to use Adobe(?) Euro fonts. Hans?

Hi Thomas,
thanks for your reply. The quotedblleft and quotedblbase produce what I
need. The ShowFont command is very useful, indeed.
