Dear All
I have been using fleurons in a couple of documents I have been producing by
using the context commands \loadmapfile and \definesymbols of the fleurons I
want to use, in each document. This is becoming a bit laborious so I though
I could create a symb-*.tex file with all my fleurons defined in it which I
could use in future documents.
I had a look through 'Fonts in Context', and Section 12 Symbols and Glyphs
described how to define the euro symbol which looked pretty straight
forward. I also looked on the Wiki and reread Adam Lindsay email in reply
to my earlier fleuron problem. So, suitably educated I wrote the following
symbol-fle.tex file with a few fleurons defined and saved it in
F:\isoimage\usr\local\context\tex\texmf-local\tex\context\base where other
symb-*.tex filed are stored.
%
%symb-fle.tex
%
%
\loadmapfile [texnansi-web-fleurons.map]
\definefontsynonym [Fleurons] [texnansi-fleurons]
\startsymbolset[Fleuron Beings]
\definesymbol[Frog] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char44}]
\definesymbol[SmallAngel] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char101}]
\definesymbol[BigAngel] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char108}]
\definesymbol[Mouse] [\getglyph{Fleurons}{\char129}]
\stopsymbolset
\input
%
%
I then wrote a short test to show these fleurons but no success
%
%
%symbolTest.tex
%
%
\loadmapfile[texnansi-web-fleurons.map]
\usesymbols[fle]
\starttext
\symbol[Fleurons] [Frog]%%%%%%%%%%%%%Result - No Frog fleuron only Frog
\symbol[Fleurons] [SmallAngel]%%%%%%%Result - No SmallAngel fleuron only
SmallAngel
\symbol[Fleurons] [BigAngel]%%%%%%%%%Result - No BigAngel fleuron only
BigAngel
\symbol[Fleurons] [Mouse]%%%%%%%%%%%%Result - No Mouse fleuron only Mouse
\stoptext
%
%
The result is the text identifier of the fleurons. I must be missing
something fundamental in these definitions. Any suggestions?
Thanks
