How to access special quotationsmarks and the euro symbol
Hi all, can anyone tell me how the following unicode characters can be accessed with ConTeXt? “ - left double quotation mark „ - double low 9 quotation mark In LaTeX I used the \grqq- and \glqq-macros. In addition, I have difficulties in accessing the Euro character. The proposed method \usesymbols[euro] and the later use of \euro or \texteuro does not work. I get the message \definedfont=eurose at 14.39996pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. What steps do I have to perform in order to install that font correctly? Thanks for your attention and effort, --Stefan

Try \quotedblleft and \quotesinglebase I find it useful to produce pdfs for the fonts that I use most often which will show these symbols. This would be an example for an input file: \usemodule[fnt-01] \starttext \ShowFont[Charter][bchr8r][ec] \stoptext This will show you all the symbols and glyphs available and how they can be obtained. All best Thomas
Hi Thomas, thanks for your reply. The quotedblleft and quotedblbase produce what I need. The ShowFont command is very useful, indeed. --Stefan Thomas A.Schmitz wrote:

Use logical markup: \quotation{That’s quoted in double quotes}, \quote{and that’s in single quotes}. You get right quotation marks if you setup the right language: \setupmainlanguage[de] If you need foreign quotes for longer citations, just switch the language: {\fr \quotation{C’est la vie!}}

That seems to use Adobe(?) Euro fonts. Hans? Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/
