Hallo Wolfgang,
I can not produce astronomy symbols.
% Unicode Fonts: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ % % the font for the symbols is hardcoded but as we have in mkiv fonts % with more symbols a command to change the font would make sense
\definefontsynonym [UnicodeSymbols] [name:unicodesymbols]
\def\UnicodeSymbol#1{\getglyph{UnicodeSymbols}{\utfchar{#1}}}
\startsymbolset [miscellaneoussymbols]
\definesymbol[blacktelephone][\UnicodeSymbol{"260E}] \definesymbol[whitetelephone][\UnicodeSymbol{"260F}]
\definesymbol[mercury] [\UnicodeSymbol{"263F}] \definesymbol[earth] [\UnicodeSymbol{"2641}] \definesymbol[jupiter] [\UnicodeSymbol{"2643}] \definesymbol[saturn] [\UnicodeSymbol{"2644}] \definesymbol[uranus] [\UnicodeSymbol{"2645}] \definesymbol[neptune] [\UnicodeSymbol{"2646}] \definesymbol[pluto] [\UnicodeSymbol{"2647}]
\stopsymbolset
Wolfgang
It is good to know, that there is an alternative. I will try it! But what is wrong with my code? Why does it not work? Wolfgang
