What I am having difficulty with is to get word wrap and interline spacing to work consistently. I am using \framed, but if there is a better way please let me know. The trouble I am having is getting lines to break consistently. Sometimes they do, but as in this case the second word `through' continues beyond the frame width. You may also try to substitute the text ``Enter this way today'', another contrived example to see the effect. The symbol font that I am using is Symbol-Signs from:
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/Symbol-Signs but I shouldn't think that is pertinent to the problem.Any guidance on what is the issue here? Or if there is a better way to go about doing this type of signage.
I am also interested in learning how to do vertical centering of blocks of text, i.e., in a formal letter or in this case of setting text for signs. I have read and tried to understand Wolfgang's response to Jaroslav's earlier enquiry:
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100702.112805.07aa71e2.en.htmlbut I really don't understand it and how to make it work for my applications. Is there a simple template---say for a block of text---that someone might be able to offer for the ConTeXt challenged?
