Hello,
I have some progress with XeTeX already (with the version included in TeXLive
distribution).
1a) Including external graphics really requires ImageMagic to be installed.
1b) PDF pictures refuse to be inserted for unknown reason but PNGs are handled
fine.
2) To use Windows encoding such
Hello Oliver,
Thank you very much. You encouraged me to do some more tests and finally I
discovered something useful.
The cow.pdf from context examples runs smoothly.
My .pdf was saved in Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro and this turns out the main cause.
Saving with older versions compatibility and

Moodle) suggest that there should be overlapping cycles in
development: 1. Allocate new version number and start implementing
new features. Many things are broken at the moment and the

With ConTeXt there is, of course, the excursion (equiv. to (1)) and
the manual (2), but many important issues (the phantastic XML
processing
capabilities, bibliography stuff, typography, font management,...) are
not quite complete or covered elsewhere (i.e. situation 3).
I totally agree.

Hi,
i am a fresh convert to Context from Latex and deeply impressed by
it's ability to set multiple pages on one page, even doublesided
ones.
For setting a collection of poems I use \obeylines and \smallskip
to arrange them on the page. Pagebreaks should only be possible
between stanzas at the

I wonder how people (esp. at Pragma) currently deal with this. What
happens if you have a ConTeXt doc from say 1997 that compiles into the
resp. PDF with some ConTeXt version from that time but not today
anymore? Which ConTeXt versions does one have to keep in order to be
book for those who only want to use the dvi format?
hey, it's not that bad ...
After all it's DeVice Independent.
Maybe today it sounds better if we say 'output format independant'

Hello,
I've just read a about hanging punctuation in Hans' Typographic Programming
manual. It is very impressive; now I understand one more cause why Word
documents look so ugly. :)
Unfortunatelly, I cannot try those examples by myself, since I run TeXLive2007
that don't have Palatino font

A font-embedding issue puzzles me. First I make a metapost figure that
uses plain tex for the label, so it uses cmr10. Then I include it in a
context document to get a .ps file. The problem is that the label shows
up in Courier (which ghostscript uses when it cannot find the font, I
think).
