Hello again,
the dotted font works perfectly.
I'm using Lua to generate sheets from a database which contains
word-picture-picture2 records (see attached single page sample; I had to
convert the image to .jpg to reduce file size).
One more question - is there a ConTeXt/Lua function which would assign a
non-diacritical-character to that with diacritics, like:
Á => A
Š => S
Ý => Y etc.?
I'm asking as the "Trace Font for Kids" doesn't contain characters with
diacritics...
Simple Lua table would do the job, like
----
remove_dia_czech =
{ ["é"] = "e",
["š"] = "s",
...
}
----
But string pattern in Lua with cp1250/UTF-8 might not be so easy as Lua pattern
"." matches single char (or - better - one byte - I guess), so with UTF-8,
chars with diacritics need more bytes; so the code
----
str = ("Řetězec with diacritics"):gsub(".", remove_dia_czech)
----
probably won't work.
And Ctx Lua could have a mechanism already...
Best regards,
Lukas

there is no easy way to convert that into a dotted line that matches the ‘black
parts’ of the glyph shape. Perhaps you could use two regular fonts: one
sans-serif and one with dotted lines? There are some free fonts with dotted
lines that can be found on the web, e.g. here:

Best wishes,
