hello all <summary of previous episodes> I begin to be able to use utopia-expert fonts thanks to the fourier tricks located in the different type-*.enc. My previous work with TeXfont has not been entirely useless for it has helped me to understand what I needed to use the available material which gives access to utopia-expert. I would seize the opportunity to thank all the people who made available the howtos on ConTeXt, the wiki and so on. And also those who answered my first questions on this list, even if I choose not to follow all their recommendations ;-) To say the truth I've already devoted the last three days in learning how to use ConTeXt and cannot envisage to swap to LuaTeX before some time. But alas I've got a new problem which I state hereafter: I've tried this: \definesymbol [Telefon][\getglyph{umvs}{\char84}] because umvs.tfm is in the marvosym directory but it doesn't work. I've also tried marvosym (because there is a marvosym.pfb) instead of umvs but to no avail. I've succeeded nonetheless in obtaining the glyphs of fourier-orns with \definefontsynonym [Fourier-Ornements] [fourier-orns] [encoding=ec] \definesymbol [lefthand][\getglyph{Fourier-Ornements}{\char116}] Is it because I need to load a map or something? Any hint would be greatly appreciated Many thanks to all -- Yvon Henel

You need to provide tha tfm file name, not pfb, but there already exists a module which does that. \usesymbols[mvs] \setupsymbolset[martinvogel 2] \symbol[Telephone] See and the corrosponding source file (symb-mvs.tex) http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols/mvs Mojca

Thanks a lot. There is some discrepancies between the said module and my TeXlive (2007) distribution but I've succeeded in using "it". For those who could be interrested, I've done thus: copy symb-mvs.tex to symb-mvs2.tex in my texmf-local/tex/context inside this copy change \loadmapfile[original-base.map] into \loadmapfile[marvosym.map] and change \definefontsynonym [MartinVogel] [fmvr8x] into \definefontsynonym [MartinVogel] [umvs] don't forget to texhash and it works! Thanks a lot. -- Yvon Henel
