Hi all,
apologies if my mail doesn't hit the list directly: My mail address was
temporarily unavailable which might have caused the mailing list engine
to set me to no-member status.
Here's my problem: I would like to set up a style using some symbols of
Luc Devroye's Sugaku fonts as graphical elements. When I run the following,
the overlay doesn't contain any of the desired elements.
Here's my test file:
%output=pdf
\startMPinclusions
verbatimtex
\definesymbol[karo]{\getglyph{Kinkimono}{\char017}}
etex
\stopMPinclusions
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{rechteck}
fill unitsquare xyscaled (\overlaywidth, \overlayheight) withcolor .7white;
label(btex \symbol[karo] etex, origin);
label(btex \symbol[karo] etex, (0,\overlayheight));
label(btex \symbol[karo] etex, (\overlaywidth, 0));
label(btex \symbol[karo] etex, (\overlaywidth, \overlayheight));
\stopuseMPgraphic
\defineoverlay[Text][{\useMPgraphic{rechteck}}]
\setupbackgrounds
[text][background=Text]
\input tufte
\stoptext
The temporarily generated PDF file for the background only contains
the grey rectangle:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0

What gives? The symbol font is available to pdfetex, insertiong the
symbols in ConTeXt gives the desired result.
