Hello again, the dotted font works perfectly. I'm using Lua to generate sheets from a database which contains word-picture-picture2 records (see attached single page sample; I had to convert the image to .jpg to reduce file size). One more question - is there a ConTeXt/Lua function which would assign a non-diacritical-character to that with diacritics, like: Á => A Š => S Ý => Y etc.? I'm asking as the "Trace Font for Kids" doesn't contain characters with diacritics... Simple Lua table would do the job, like ---- remove_dia_czech = { ["é"] = "e", ["š"] = "s", ... } ---- But string pattern in Lua with cp1250/UTF-8 might not be so easy as Lua pattern "." matches single char (or - better - one byte - I guess), so with UTF-8, chars with diacritics need more bytes; so the code ---- str = ("Řetězec with diacritics"):gsub(".", remove_dia_czech) ---- probably won't work. And Ctx Lua could have a mechanism already...

Perhaps you could use two regular fonts: one sans-serif and one with dotted lines? There are some free fonts with dotted lines that can be found on the web, e.g. here: http://www.fontspace.com/category/dotted-line > > Best wishes, > Taco -- Ing.
