Hi,
I'm trying to typeset a parallel text that should appear in columns. The
sources are XML, and there I have to use tables for this. So, I thought
the easiest way is to use extreme tables for this:
=========================
\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth}
\startxtable[split=yes,frame=off]
\startxrow
\startxcell Text \stopxcell
\startxcell Übersetzung \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell \input ward \stopxcell
\startxcell \input tufte \stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopxtable
\stoptext
=========================
However, as it turns out, split only seems to mean that the table is
split between rows, individual rows stay on the same page.
Is there a better approach? I've found the page-streams, but that seems
to be too much...
Best,
Denis

Dingbats are old school t1 without proper names so we can't use
unicodes. However, there is a goodie that should do that so that in
principle it should work with unicodes but there is some interference
going on (i'll look at that)
For nwo access by 'name' or 'index' (these are kind of stable for
such
an old font):
n:a34 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a34}} \par
n:a35 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a35}} \par
i:48 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:48}} \par
i:49 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:49}} \par
n:a104 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a104}} \par
n:a105 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a105}} \par
Thank you Hans!
Access by glyph index with \tochar{i:19} works well for both MKIV and
LMTX. Access by name with \tochar{n:a39} does not work in LMTX with log
message: char ✓ (U+02713) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing.
Also \ShowCompleteFont does not report any glyph names in LMTX.
should be a bit better in yesterdays upload (i also changed the file
name alias so that in pinciple unicode should work too)
Dear Hans,
Thank you for working on this. I have tried version 2020.09.20: Unicode
input works for the "Private Use Area" Unicodes reported in
\ShowCompleteFont. Such Unicodes are, however, not desirable. Moreover, in
MKIV, a Unicode U+2713 (Check Mark) in the input did produce the
ZapfDingbats check, e.g. as follows:
\definefontsynonym[ZapfDingbats][file:ZapfDingbats][features=dingbats]
\definefont[zapfdingbats][ZapfDingbats]
\starttext
{\zapfdingbats ✓}
\definedfont[name:ZapfDingbats]✓
\stoptext
I still get no check mark in the output PDF and a log message "char ✓
(U+02713) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing". Am I using the font
wrongly?
(This has not a high priority for me, because I have the unified access by
glyph index.)
Christoph

I don't know what the previous line does ... but it works ok here when
you remove it.
\definefont[zapfdingbats][ZapfDingbats]

Hi,
I wish to use the Nimbus fonts, but since I didn't know which Math fonts is best adapted to this family, I tried several fonts such as Stix Math, TeX Gyre Math, and so on, but doing this the math-italic does not appear in these fonts: does this mean that I have to set explicitely math-italic in definefontfamily?
Also what is the best math font adapted for Nimbus?
Below is my definition of a fontfamily for Nimbus fonts.
Thanks in advance for any help: Otared K
%% begin definefontfamily-nimbus.tex
\definefontfamily [mainface] [rm] [Nimbus Roman No9 L]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [ss] [Nimbus Sans L] [rscale=0.85]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [tt] [Nimbus Mono] [features=none,rscale=0.95]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [STIX Math]
%\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Asana Math]
%\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [Lucida Bright Math OT]
%\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [TeX Gyre Termes Math]
%\definefontfamily [mainface] [mm] [XITSMath]
\setupmathematics[integral=nolimits,lcgreek=normal,default=normal]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
{\rm\tf Regular \it Italic \bf Bold \bi BoldItalic}
{\ss\tf Regular \it Italic \bf Bold \bi BoldItalic}
{\tt\tf Regular \it Italic \bf Bold \bi BoldItalic}
And here are a few math formulas $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2 = x^2 + y^2 + t^2$.
\startformula
\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x)dx = 0,
\qquad {\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0,
\qquad \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{1 \over n^2} = {\pi^2 \over 6}.
\stopformula
\stoptext
%% end definefontfamily-nimbus.tex
