I'm thinking about utilizing border fonts and how to make automatic
frames for use with \framed (I guess that's still too hard for me,
but let's see...)
think backgrounds and leaders:
\def\Border#1#2#3#4#5#6#7#8%
{\vbox to \overlayheight \bgroup
\offinterlineskip
\setbox0=\hbox to \overlaywidth \bgroup
#1\cleaders\hbox{#2}\hfill#3%
\egroup
\setbox2=\hbox to \overlaywidth \bgroup
#5\cleaders\hbox{#6}\hfill#7%
\egroup
\scratchdimen\dimexpr\overlayheight-2\ht0\relax
\setbox4=\vbox to \scratchdimen \bgroup
\cleaders\hbox{#8}\vfill
\egroup
\setbox6=\vbox to \scratchdimen \bgroup
\cleaders\hbox{#4}\vfill
\egroup
\box0
\hbox to \overlaywidth{\box4\hfill\box6}%
\box2
\egroup}
\def\FakeChar#1{\framed[width=.5cm,height=.5cm,offset=overlay]{#1}}
\defineoverlay
[border]
[\Border
{\FakeChar{\tx LT}}
{\FakeChar{t}}
{\FakeChar{\tx RT}}
{\FakeChar{r}}
{\FakeChar{\tx RB}}
{\FakeChar{b}}
{\FakeChar{\tx LB}}
{\FakeChar{l}}]
\starttext
\framed[width=4cm,height=3cm,background=border]{}
\stoptext
if needed i can add something like Border to supp-fun or so ...
probably some scaling is involved as well
