Hi,
overprinting is broken here. I used \dostartoverprint in the past,
but this no longer works. What is the recommended way for
overprinted text nowadays?
just \startoverprint Overprint \stopoverprint
I see. A quick test shows, that this macro is not working with mkii
(an updated example is attached).
Sadly this macro also does not work in my graphics, if I simply
exchange \dostartoverprint with \startoverprint (regardless of the
mark).
you need to enable it with \setupcolors[overprint=yes]
I tried that one before, but it enables kind of global overprinting in
mkii (all but \startoverprinting, including the mp graphic). In case of
mkiv this breaks the \startoverprinting macro (so no overprinting at
all). I attached a new example.
btw, your mkiv definitions do nothing (just toggle some flag) and the
\dodriverthing's are gone anyway
Ok, then I must find a new working overprinting macro for my texts.
\setupcolors[overprint=yes]
\ifnum\contextmarkmode=4
\def\dostartoverprint%
{\ctxlua{overprints.enabled=true}}
\def\dostopoverprint%
{\ctxlua{overprints.enabled=false}}
\fi
this really does nothing, apart from enableng backend processing of set
overprints
\starttext
\startMPcode
fill unitcircle scaled 5cm;
\stopMPcode
\starttextoverprint starttextoverprint \stoptextoverprint % fails in
both marks
\dostartoverprint dostartoverprint \dostopoverprint % fails in mkiv only
\startoverprint overprint \stopoverprint % fails in mkii only
\stoptext
well, in order to figure out the problem i need a better test file (at
least one that shows the effect you want to achieve) as i have none here
