Thanks Wolfgang,
I see that the main change was align=broad as an option to \framed. Could you
tell me what that does, or point me to where it is described? I see broad
described in terms of width and height but not align under the description for
framed.
Thanks.

I am trying to typeset some signs for a construction site. I enclose a

What I am having difficulty with is to get word wrap and interline spacing to
work consistently. I am using \framed, but if there is a better way please let
me know. The trouble I am having is getting lines to break consistently.
Sometimes they do, but as in this case the second word `through' continues
beyond the frame width. You may also try to substitute the text ``Enter this
way today'', another contrived example to see the effect. The symbol font that
I am using is Symbol-Signs from:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Symbol-Signs
but I shouldn't think that is pertinent to the problem.
Any guidance on what is the issue here? Or if there is a better way to go
about doing this type of signage.
I am also interested in learning how to do vertical centering of blocks of
text, i.e., in a formal letter or in this case of setting text for signs. I
have read and tried to understand Wolfgang's response to Jaroslav's earlier
enquiry:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100702.112805.07aa71e2.en.html
but I really don't understand it and how to make it work for my applications.
Is there a simple template---say for a block of text---that someone might be
able to offer for the ConTeXt challenged?
\setuppapersize[legal,landscape]
\setuplayout
[header=0in,
footer=0in,
topspace=0.75in,
bottomspace=0.75in,
backspace=1in,
width=12in]
\setuppagenumbering
[location=]
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[TeX Gyre Schola]
%\setupinterlinespace[line=1.2\bodyfontsize]
\setupinterlinespace[line=2.2ex]
\starttext
\dontleavehmode
\framed
[width=7in,align={flushright,nothyphenated,broad},frame=on]
{\definedfont[Serif at 128pt]\setupinterlinespace Enter through here for
parking\par}%
\framed
[width=5in,frame=off]
% {\definedfont[name:symbolsigns at 500pt]K}
{\definedfont[Sans at 500pt]K}
\stoptext
