Dear Wolfgang,
I am using:
ConTeXt ver: 2015.03.28 22:37 MKIV beta fmt: 2015.3.29 int: english/english
After installing fontawesome, and running the MWE that you had enclosed,
I get the following error:
fonts > symbols > library 'fontawesome' is unknown
And no symbols are output. 'fontawesome' is loaded:
$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=fontawesome
resolvers | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf'
resolvers | caching | skipping 'files' for 'home:texmf' from
'/opt/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/trees/54be04d87dd160089f572b19cb5c97e9'
(version mismatch)
fontawesome fontawesome
/home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/font-awesome-4.3.0/fonts/FontAwesome.otf
fontawesomenormal fontawesome

fontawesomeregular fontawesome
/home/pavneet/.fonts/opentype/font-awesome-4.3.0/fonts/FontAwesome.otf
Also, the '\mysymbol' directive results in an error:
tex error > error on line 24 in file test2.tex: ! Argument of \65> has

20 \startlines

22 \symbol[fontawesome][question-circle]
23
\framed[strut=no,width=1em,height=1em,background=color,backgroundcolor=black,corner=round,radius=.5ex,foregroundcolor=white]{\symbol[fontawesome][question]}
24 >> \symbol[mysymbol]
25 \stoplines
26
27 \stoptext
28
What might be the problem?
Many thanks.
