This is a workaround for the meantime:
- Download the free True Type font Zapf Dingbats BT from
http://www.ufonts.com/fonts/zapf-dingbats-bt.html
- You should have got the file ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf or an EXE
file -an installer-
- In windows 7 it may be installed by clicking install -context menu,
right mouse click-
- Generate Context font database:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
- Check it's been read:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=zapf*
- You should have several lines like zapfdingbatsbt
zapfdingbatsitcbybtregular
c:/windows/fonts/ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf
- Finally this is how I get the characters I need:
\definefont[zapfdingbats][ufonts.com_zapf-dingbats-bt-2.ttf at 10pt]
\starttext
Testing: {\zapfdingbats \char109} %shadowed white circle
\stoptext
in the distrubution from the contextgarden
\definefont[zapfdingbats][ZapfDingbats]
should work as well
