Hello!

That was it, I forgot rule one: update your ConTeXt before asking
questions. I updated to newest current and everything started working.

Thank you,

Re: [NTG-context] Font Awesome (again)

2018-11-01 Thread Wolfgang Schuster

Hi Mari,

you have to update your installation because fontawesome 5 uses a new 
machanism
to load the symbols from the font files. The first version of the 
mechanism from August
did only work when you enabled the symbol set for the whole document and 
extended

support was added in September.

Mari Voipio schrieb am 01.11.18 um 13:51:

Hi Wolfgang et al,

I did some more research into this.

If I put \symbol after \showsymbolset, the font gets loaded and the
symbols show up as expected. If I put \symbol before \showsymbolset,
the font seems to get loaded, but instead of the symbol I get its name
printed. If I remove the \showsymbolset commands altogether, the
correct font doesn't get loaded at all (as far as I understand from
the log) and understandably I get no symbols then. I didn't touch the
stuff above \starttext, just moved the \symbol commands around.
As far as I can tell, the font is properly installed and ConTeXt finds
it (otherwise \showsymbolset wouldn't work, I think). But I've got a
nagging feeling I'm missing something somewhere else. Unfortunately
I'm on thin ice here, fonts really aren't my forte.

Then Wolfgang's solution makes even more sense as it is possible to use

Hi,

There is a FontAwesome.otf file that is distributed with ConTeXt 
minimals. Does anyone know what version (4 or 5) of the font it is? I am 
asking because the names of the symbols used in the font do not match 
those on the font-awesome website. For example, using


\showsymbolset[fontawesome]


The distribution includes version 4.7.

I get that the symbol for "utensils" 
(https://fontawesome.com/icons/utensils?style=solid) is actually mapped 
to "food" in ConTeXt. Since the names of the symbols are now taken from 
the font, my guess is that the distribution has an old version of the 
font (also because it is a single font rather than three).


Would it make sense to update the fonts in the distribution? If not, then 
simply remove the old version of the fonts?


Also, don't we need to update the symb-imp-fontawesome.mkiv file to work

(https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-desktop/setup/getting-started):
