I need to insert a few Unicode symbols...(Just the symbols for the solar system planets)... Is this going to be easy - doable inside ConTeXt with a few preparatory mystic runes, or will it require running scripts, moving files around, etc...?
The wiki suggests:
Use \enableregime[utf] in order to be able to typeset in unicode under ConTeXt.
But is it as simple as it looks?
Have a deeper look at the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols http://homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ http://source.contextgarden.net/symb-uni.tex
Of course you need the fonts containing the symbols in place...
Thanks! I'm looking for a level 1 solution (ie one that doesn't require me to go into the Terminal and start typing commands and moving files). Adam's document was interesting but looked a bit too daunting - a level 2 solution. Nothing wrong with that, just that I've got to find the time and skill to do it.
The symbol set reference was great - the planet symbols are accessible in:
\usesymbols[mvs] \showsymbolset[astronomic]
so I may not have to go to a unicode-font at all.
I just wish there was some way of accessing all the standard fonts and symbols that are already a few millimetres away on the hard disk... :-)
later this year when we go to native open type with on the fly font composition, fallback etc etc etc Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
