[NTG-context] Strange Font problem
Hello, since one of the last betas (I guess two weeks ago), a strange problem appears in my current document. The first ~10 page are completely fine (i.e. as usual) but the following ~20 pages have some kind of a font problem. The font looks bolder/grainy when zooming out in Acrobat and also the scrolling is pretty slow. After these pages, it's fine again. I don't see any specific trigger, there's nothing "special" on these pages. Sorry that I can't give any more details, but I wasn't able yet to pinpoint the problem. Even producing a long test document using \dorecurse didn't provoke that problem. I made a screenshot of one of the aforementioned spots where it switches - in this case from "wrong" to "right". http://aksdb.homeip.net/ConTeXt_Font.png I guess you can easily see that the font on the upper page (the wrong one) looks different from the page below (the right one). They should be the same and it even looks correct when zooming further in. Both pages are consecutive and there is no code inbetween (no manual break, nothing). Has someone seen something like this before and can give me a hint where to start looking for the trigger so that I can maybe produce a smaller test example to help find and fix the root cause? Thanks in advance, Andreas. ___ 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 ___
