[NTG-context] reuse of LaTeX code
Dear List users, I just heard about ConTeXt on the lingtex list. I am a rather old and experienced Latex user, and, although rather unsatisfied, I have tons of latex sources for constant reuse. My first questions are Is there any hope that I can painlessly reuse my Latex code in Context? Is there any hope that I can ever use Latex styles (some more complicated macro defs) in Context? Thanks for help.

[NTG-context] Images
Hello all!
Thanks for all your suggestions. I am capturing screenshots and saving them
as .eps images using Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. I then convert the eps images
to PDF using convertall2pdf(on the command line) which is the batch file
that Ghostscript uses. I am sending through the script of Convertall2pdf.
@echo off
PATH=%PATH%;c:\gs\gs8.13\lib;c:\gs\gs8.13\bin;
for /F %%i in ('dir /b *.eps') do ps2pdf %%i %%i.pdf
When I then use context tags
\placefigure
{test}
{\externalfigure[Image1-4][type=pdf,preset=yes]}
\blank
I still get blank gray boxes in the output. Why does this happen? How do I
solve this problem? Does it have anything to do with the bounding box? How
do I fix the bounding box?
Thanks and regards,
-priya

see pstopdf.pdf manual on or site; play with:
pstopdf --method=1 yourfile.eps
pstopdf --method=2 yourfile.eps
pstopdf --method=3 yourfile.eps

Hello, It seems that you're working on a Win$$ platform. If you can grab Snag-it somewhere, you'll be able to save your capturized images in a .png format, directly usable in Context.

Re: [NTG-context] Metapost font size
Hi, You can setup the font to be used in the Metapost-figure \startMPenvironment \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,8pt] \stopMPenvironment works great, thank you!
