But I can't seem to get a minimal to work with https://context-on-web.eu: \definefontfallback[SymbolFB] [file:symbola.otf] [0x00300-0x003FF,0x02100-0x02800,0x1F000-0x20000] % look up the right Unicode ranges! [check=no,force=no] \definetypeface [myfonts] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [fallbacks=SymbolFB] \starttext \utfchar{0x02460} \stoptext The above just prints the vanilla character '1'. That might be because the online editor doesn't have access to the font. So I tried compiling the above locally with the Symbola.otf file in the same directory and same problem. -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com
