Instead of using something like ;-}, what looks nice, but is not the highpoint of typography, I would like to use something like \smiley, \grin, \cool, …
You need a font with the symbol, there are also fonts available where you can use layers to use different colors for parts of the symbol.

I am still quite inexperienced with ConTeXt. I found the following document: http://statweb.calpoly.edu/jdoi/web/reference/symbols-a4.pdf It is for LaTeX, but I can not find ConTeXt specific stuff. In table 188 there is a smiley. This brought me to to following: \starttext \usesymbols[wasy] \symbol[was][smiley] \symbol[was][qed] \showsymbolset[general] % \showsymbolset[music] % \showsymbolset[astronomy] % \showsymbolset[astrology] % \showsymbolset[geometry] % \showsymbolset[physics] % \showsymbolset[apl] \stoptext The smiley does not display, instead I get the text smiley. Also it is not shown with the \showsymbolset. Why? Is there any documentation about how to work –for example– with the dingbats font. At the moment I am just feeling like shooting in the dark. :-{ When knowing how to do it, I could try to make a smiley module. ;-} By the way: do I understand correctly that with \showsymbolset the second column shows how the character is displayed and the third columns shows the used space for the character? -- Cecil Westerhof
