I would like to define new symbols by stitching together existing glyphs. This is what I have come up so far:
\define[1]\Transition{-\!\![#1]\!\!\rightarrow} \starttext \m{L\Transition{A}R} \stoptext
This should render as -[ ]->, ideally with no space between the dash or the arrow and the brackets, i.e., -[ should appear like a single glyph; ditto for ]-->. With the definition above, however, the space is variable, and in some circumstances the gliphs overlap.
How can I improve the above definition? don't use these funny \! skips ... use some font related metric:
\define[1]\Transition{-\kern-1ex[#1]\kern-1.1ex\rightarrow} \starttext \m{L\Transition{A}R} \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
