Dear all, I hope this doesn't get me banned from the ConTeXt list. What is the easiest/best way to add emoticons in ConTeXt as letters/symbols? In LaTeX, there is a package wasysym that gives \smiley and \frownie. It appears to be based at least partially on MetaFont code by Taco from 1998? I am aware that one can use images as characters as well, but I am looking for a cleaner solution. Incidentally (and irrelevant for my current purposes), my dream/nightmare would be to have animated emoticons in a PDF file. Is that at all possible? Thanks, Matthias
Thanks ---
what font are you using for that -- the faces I get this way are a little lopsided
(i.e. the eyes are not centered over the mouth).
And of course I was hoping for something prettier, but this is certainly easy!

Something between a dream and nightmare : \startuseMPgraphic{smile} draw image ( path p ; p := (0,2) .. (2,2) .. (0,-2) ; draw p randomized .5 ; draw (0.5,1) ; draw (0.5,-1) ; ) xsized EmWidth ; \stopuseMPgraphic \definesymbol[smile][\useMPgraphic{smile}] \starttext \startTEXpage[width=20em] \dorecurse{100}{\dontleavehmode\symbol[smile] } \stopTEXpage \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
