[NTG-context] XeTeX hangs

2006-05-23 Thread nico
Hello, Sorry, just another overlapping case I should have put in the preceding mail: when a float cuts the backgrounded stuff, the float is backgrounded too. Maybe harder to fix. An example showing both cases (footnote + float): \definecolor[ScreenGray][s=.95]
