The glyphs look alright, but the metrics are twice too big. Renaming the file to .ttf as Taco suggests works fine though. Thanks both for your help.

I'm using the latest context beta minimals (updated today): ConTeXt - 2011.02.11 18:18 and LuaTeX-0.65.0. Is there a newer version fixing the problem?

[NTG-context] Symbola font glyph size
Hello, I have some troubles using the Symbola font mentioned some time ago on the mailing list (http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/Symbola602.zip). It seems like the font metrics are loaded correctly, but the glyphs in the pdf appear approximately half the size, leaving white space above and next to it. Here is a minimal example: \starttext Gg {\definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf]Gg} Gg \stoptext If I use \definedfont[file:Symbola602.otf sa 2], the glyphs are more or less the good size, but the metrics are way too large. I have no problems with this font in OpenOffice. Any ideas?
