Re: [NTG-context] ansi codes

1 Oct 2008

      Wonderful !

Is there a (preferably free) Linux or Windows font tool out there which
allows to print a font's characters and corresponding character codes ?

Thanks Taco.
It didn't work as expected. It outputs exclamation points.
OK, fetched the font.
...
\starttypescript [sans] [combinumerals]
     \setups [font:fallback:sans]
     \definefontsynonym [sans]                    [CombinumeralsRegular]
     \definefontsynonym [sansBold]            [CombinumeralsBold]
\stoptypescript
Two changes are needed here
[Sans]       instead of   [sans]
[SansBold]   instead of   [sansBold]
...
\starttext
%\showcharacters
%\page
Have to add a font switching command here:
\switchtobodyfont[combinumerals,ss]
Best wishes,
Taco
