Live i get: http://live.contextgarden.net/output.cgi?id=pOm785 and locally: -------------------------------------8<------------------------------------- ... kpathsea: Running mktexmf Vollkorn ! I can't find file `Vollkorn'. ... ------------------------------------->8------------------------------------- So I guess, I don't have that font locally. Maybe there is a good standard font with many special characters? It would be nice if other people could also easily compile the tex source. Is it generally a superior font for special characters? How do I go about finding a font that contains all my special characters? I have at least ſ (long s), aͤ (a^e SMALL e ABOVE), ʒ etc. Most are from a historical context. And a lot of ligatures. As I understand Mac OS is able to produce arbitrary ligatures. But will this work on a Linux too? I followed Tacos advise and am subscribed now. -- Thanks Andy ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
