Am I right, and if so what is the best method to perform this?
I thought about using the \getfiguredimensions macro to get the natural
dimensions, and then use something like
width=0.2\imgwidth,height=0.8\imgheight, but it is a pity that the
externalfigure interface does not allow this directly (something like
wscale and hscale options).
there is indeed no xscale and yscale (although
\scale[sx=1.5,sy=2,3]{...} is available)

Thanks very much for your quick patch, it works as expected. Do you plan

yes

Dear all,
Yesterday, I made a short text including itemized list more than 10.
I have run it using XeTeX+ConTeXt and got a nice pdf file except one thing.
there is no space between item no and the sentence.
I tested the same file using ConTeXt(Mac Os Roman encoding), and have no
problem at all.
There are spaces after item no less than 10.
Should I set something in XeTeX-ConTeXt?
Dalyoung,
This is much more a ConTeXt issue than a XeTeX issue. I *think* it comes
up with XeConTeXt because the CJK font has (relatively) wider roman
characters than with roman fonts.
Anyway, here are two different approaches. You can either correct it per
item group (making it broad or a multiple thereof), or across all
itemizes (insert whatever width that makes you happy).
\starttext
\startitemize[n,2*broad]
\dorecurse{13}{\item item }
\stopitemize
% or:
\setupitemize[width=2.5em]
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{13}{\item item }
\stopitemize
\stoptext
Hope that helps!

No, they are not. I already noticed this question last time, but
didn't know how to answer it.
The main problem is that not only the symbols: not even the proper
font is defined. \oiint resides in pxexa font, which is mapped to
Palatino-Math-Extension-A, but that font is not mapped any further.
It would be nice to define (copy definitions from LaTeX) those
amsmath symbols once anyway (probably the first time when someone will
need them). An example of such a definition would be:
\definemathsymbol [boxdot] [bin] [ma] [00]
(copied from [EMAIL PROTECTED] in pxfonts.sty)
After that you can use $\boxdot$.
But this font is mapped to ma, while I have no idea which steps are
needed to do the same for Math-Extension-A fonts. In order to make
yout integral signs work, you have to ask Adam/Taco/Hans for font
definitions first.
After that you will need the following two definitions:
\definemathsymbol [oiintop] [op] [m?] [10]
\definemathsymbol [oiiintop] [op] [m?] [51]
\definemathcommand [oiint]{\oiintop\nolimits}
\definemathcommand [oiiint] {\oiiintop\nolimits}
[Second part of the mail removed ...]
Mojca
PS for Hans: regarding the math definitions: are the two functions
general enough to deserve two lines in math-tex?
