I recently had the same problem.
I installwd fontforge and opened the fobtfile. There you can see the names of the glyphs.

After that i succeded with following code.



\definefontsynonym [WebDing] [file:webdings.ttf]
\def\WebDingSymbol{\getnamedglyphdirect{WebDing}}
\startsymbolset [webding]
\definesymbol[surf][\WebDingSymbol{surf}]
\definesymbol[motorcycle][\WebDingSymbol{motorcycle}]
\definesymbol[mountain][\WebDingSymbol{mountain}]
\definesymbol[art][\WebDingSymbol{art}]
\definesymbol[occasion][\WebDingSymbol{occasion}]
\stopsymbolset
\starttext
\tfc
\symbol[webding][surf]
\symbol[webding][motorcycle]
\symbol[webding][mountain]
\symbol[webding][art]
\symbol[webding][occasion]
\stoptext

I should write a symb-imp-win.mkv

I’m trying to define a symbolset:

\definefontsynonym [Webdings] [file:Webdings.ttf]
\def\WebdingsSymbol#1{\getglyphstyled{Webdings}{\tochar{x:#1}}}

\startsymbolset[webdings]
\definesymbol [spider] [\WebdingsSymbol{f021}]
\definesymbol [spiderweb] [\WebdingsSymbol{f022}]
\definesymbol [sunglasses] [\WebdingsSymbol{f024}]
\definesymbol [award] [\WebdingsSymbol{f026}]
\definesymbol [ribbon] [\WebdingsSymbol{f02d}]
\definesymbol [plane] [\WebdingsSymbol{f0f1}]
% …
\stopsymbolset

\usesymbols[webdings]
\showsymbolset[webdings]
\symbol[webdings][spider]

The font is included in my pdf, \showsymbolset[webdings] lists the names, but the symbols never show up.
I also tried other fonts.
What’s wrong?


Greetlings, Hraban
