Have you tried \onehalf or ½ (in mkiv)?
What the combination to get ½ on a mac? Another way is to use the 'frac' feature. \definefontfeature[frac][default][script=latn,frac=yes] \definefont[minion][name:minionproregular*default] \def\utffrac{\groupedcommand{\setfontfeature{frac}}{}} \starttext \minion 1/2 \utffrac{1/2} 1/2 \utffrac{12345/6789} 12345/6789 \stoptext Wolfgang
If you use the Unicode Hex Input keyboard layout: press the Option key and enter four hex digits to specify the hex code of any glyph. Also, under any layout, when used with other keys, the Option key produces special symbols. The Keyboard Viewer, which users can add to the Input menu in the International pane of System Preferences, shows which keys generate each symbol. I do not know if ½ is included under what layout. Under X11, this is as simple as COMPOSE+1+2. I do not know how this can be configured on the Mac. On Wednesday 04 March 2009 10:56:38 Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a keyboard shortcut; I inserted it via the Character Palette.

there is a frac feature in some fonts but it might be crappy in some fonts in the sense that it has to be applied selectively ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

The frac feature is available in the Minion font and I showed how to use it in my previous mail. Wolfgang
