I'm not sure that exists a “fuzzy” algorithm for the tolerance. From my testing, a minimal shift, say, to the right, on a full page will generate a lot of noise, because each glyph will be “doubled”. I'm generating, with the visual diffs, a script to launch two PDF viewers and eventually promote the generated to the new reference. I guess there is no shortcuts to the manual ispection of the diffs. -- Marco ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
