I recently had the same problem. I installwd fontforge and opened the fobtfile. There you can see the names of the glyphs. After that i succeded with following code. \definefontsynonym [WebDing] [file:webdings.ttf] \def\WebDingSymbol{\getnamedglyphdirect{WebDing}} \startsymbolset [webding] \definesymbol[surf][\WebDingSymbol{surf}] \definesymbol[motorcycle][\WebDingSymbol{motorcycle}] \definesymbol[mountain][\WebDingSymbol{mountain}] \definesymbol[art][\WebDingSymbol{art}] \definesymbol[occasion][\WebDingSymbol{occasion}] \stopsymbolset \starttext \tfc \symbol[webding][surf] \symbol[webding][motorcycle] \symbol[webding][mountain] \symbol[webding][art] \symbol[webding][occasion] \stoptext I should write a symb-imp-win.mkv Am 30.

I’m trying to define a symbolset:

\definefontsynonym [Webdings] [file:Webdings.ttf] \def\WebdingsSymbol#1{\getglyphstyled{Webdings}{\tochar{x:#1}}}

\startsymbolset[webdings] \definesymbol [spider] [\WebdingsSymbol{f021}] \definesymbol [spiderweb] [\WebdingsSymbol{f022}] \definesymbol [sunglasses] [\WebdingsSymbol{f024}] \definesymbol [award] [\WebdingsSymbol{f026}] \definesymbol [ribbon] [\WebdingsSymbol{f02d}] \definesymbol [plane] [\WebdingsSymbol{f0f1}] % … \stopsymbolset

\usesymbols[webdings] \showsymbolset[webdings] \symbol[webdings][spider]

The font is included in my pdf, \showsymbolset[webdings] lists the names, but the symbols never show up. I also tried other fonts. What’s wrong?

the end of the file). \definefontsynonym [Webdings] [file:Webdings.ttf] \def\WebdingsSymbol#1{\getglyphstyled{Webdings}{\tochar{d:#1}}} \startsymbolset[webdings] \definesymbol [spider] [\WebdingsSymbol{983044}] \definesymbol [web] [\WebdingsSymbol{983045}] \definesymbol [cool] [\WebdingsSymbol{983047}] \stopsymbolset \starttext \symbol[webdings][spider] \symbol[webdings][web] \symbol[webdings][cool] \stoptext Wolfgang
