[NTG-context] Asterisk

[Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o.]

Hello,

thank you, that's great.

One more question - how to use another symbol, "bigstar" (see "symbols-a4.pdf" or the attached image)?

I tried the following code, but with no success:

----
\starttext
Ttt \symbol[bigstar]

Aaa \bigstar

Bbb \symbol[mathabx][bigstar]

\stoptext
----

Best regards,

Lukas
