If I use \definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2], the glyphs are more or less the good size, but the metrics are way too large. I have no problems with this font in OpenOffice.

How old is your luatex and context combination? It sounds like a bug we fixed a while ago (the font is probably a postscript font with an abnormal units per em setting)

No, it's a truetype font with 2048 UnitsPerEm. This font has not kerning at all: it is only usable as .. symbol ! :-)

Best wishes,

It is indeed what I want: use it as a symbol font. But even when trying to access symbols like this:

\definesymbol[Masks][{\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa *]\char"1F3AD}]

I still have the problem that the glyphs are too small. Do you have a better way to access the symbols and have them at the right size?

It is an error in the context font loader, apparently. It seems it assumes that .otf == postscript. Something for Hans to look at. Renaming the font to Symbola602.ttf is a usable workaround (but you have to clear the font cache). Best wishes, Taco

I still have the problem that the glyphs are too small. Do you have a better way to access the symbols and have them at the right size? \definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2] seems ok. Try \setupbodyfont[18pt] \starttext Gg {\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2]Gg} Gg M{\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2 ]\char"1F3AD}M and change \setupbodyfont to differents sizes. Symbols should look ok. \stoptext

The problem with "sa 2" is that the lineheight becomes too large and there is a lot of space at the right of the symbol. The glyphs look alright, but the metrics are twice too big. Renaming the file to .ttf as Taco suggests works fine though. Thanks both for your help. It seems something wrong with otf loader, as taco wrote \setupbodyfont[18pt] \definefont[Sym][file:Symbola602.otf sa 2] \starttext AAAAAAAAAAAA
