How do you typeset font characters by their ansi code number, ex. Alt+33 (21h) ?

\char "21 % hex \char 33 % decimal

Thanks Taco. It didn't work as expected.

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 ? On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 4:16 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Thanks Taco.

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

Geeks do it with LuaTeX :) I'm not sure if this still works since I have no luatex here, but in theory you can play with something like this: % do whatever you want with it \def\mychar#1#2{#1: #2\crlf} \starttext \ctxlua{ fontname = 'texgyrepagella-regular.otf' tfmdata = fonts.tfm.read_and_define("file:" .. fontname, 655360) w = tfmdata.characters for i=0,100000 do if w[i] then tex.sprint("\\strut\\mychar{" .. i, "}{\\type{", w[i].name, "}}") end end } \stoptext Mojca

Is something missing to make it work ? See attachements. Tried with WXP & LNX. -- Best, Alan * texexec --lua foo * ConTeXt ver: 2008.10.01 19:13 MKIV fmt: 2008.10.3 int: english/english * Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron (Desktop)
