It looks like you need to write an runes-enco-file for your font for
these character names to work. I haven't followed this thread very
closely, but maybe chapter 3 of the MyWay on Greek fonts can help
you: http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/GreekInContext.pdf

Hello Hans,
I'm slowly getting there, only two more problems to solve ;) The
first thing is, that to use some of the characters in the fontset
I have to use \th to display them, but I have no idea how to
accomplish that in context as everytime I use \somerunes \th, or
\somerunes{\th} ... I get an error message. If i double mascerade
it like \\th i get the symbols for the characters t and h. I am
sure there is a way to get this working.
The next thing, which I guess is to search more on the font-
subsystem of context, is the fact that I only get my characters
displayed when viewing the .dvi-file with xdvi. When executing
texexec --pdf or using dvipdf (or dvips) I get nothing, or the
charaters in the standard latin-typeset (i.e. ASCII).
I solved the second problem. I copied the map and type1 fonts into
the directories mentioned in the readme to the font (which where
latex-specific). After looking at the texexec output and some try
and error, I finaly got all working. So if I now do a texexec --pdf
I get a pdf-file with the font included.
how does your code look?
That is my code for testing (nothing more in there, the following
is the whole document)
\setuppapersize[a4][a4]
\starttext
\startbodymatter
\loadmapfile[allrunes.map]
\definefont[somerunes][frumbr sa 1]
\somerunes{\\th} % This is where the problem lies. I need to get
the \th working to produce a rune
\stopbodymatter
\stoptext
can you send me a zip with the tfm files?
I guess you don't need it any more, as the font-inclusion is
working now. If you still need it drop me a line.
Regards
Kai
