Thanks to Hans and Adam for the helpful advice. The code from Adam looked a bit daunting to me as a learner at first but when I changed [pzdr] to [uzdr] it worked fine.
Oh good. The available fonts and metrics (sadly) vary with every distribution, so that's a hard thing to get right. Sorry the code was dense. If you want it broken down and explained, let me know.
I attach the output from Adam's code which also includes his query about symb-run in a previous message. Hope this is of use. From the further discussion between them I hope I didn't open a can of worms.
The attachment was probably too big for the list--if you want another pair of eyes on it, feel free to send it off-list.
One last question. I did a search on the web for fleuron fonts and came up with a few interesting hits.
Yeah, I picked up the Fleurons of Hope recently, and have been thinking of interesting ways to use it in ConTeXt. http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontaid/fleurons-of-hope/
To use these in Context is it a case of following the 'Texfont explained' and 'Fonts in Context' manuals? I think I have seen some 'My Way' (or is it 'This way'... well, 'Whatever way' ;>) ) on the Wiki about this as well.
I think Bill McClain's page is a great place to start. My MyWays sort of pick up on topics after that.
I realize this is not a trivial pursuit for a beginner but I would like to give it a try. Are there any pitfalls to look out for or should I just dive in?
