Clearly, this gives me each glyph individually but stacked on top of each other. What I need though is that the second figure looks exactly like the first one (with all glyphs in the right location) except that the grey bounding boxes appear per glyph. I know what you want now, but I have

Now onto step two: how can I typeset each glyph in the formula individually such that it appears precisely in the right location? I must be misreading something here, but I cannot figure out what 'the right location' means. Since textext() always returns a single picture that can't be

so, if in mkiv you want pieces, you need to textext each snippet that you want as such Alright... in that case how would I make sure that all glyph positions are kept if my TeX material is, say, some complex formula? How could I find the baseline with textext? see mp.mplib for all

the fact that you have pieces in mkii is a side effect of dvitomp turning dvi output in mp pictures; in the process it combines glyphs that have no kerning and whatever spacing becomes shifts Oh, I didn't know the pieces used to come about by accident... actually, by a rather favourable

I always develop a kind of romantic relationship with the tools I use, I either hate it and stop using it no matter what it can or can not do; I hate OpenOffice and Qt, for example, and I would never, willingly use either. On the other hand, when I love some tool I never turn my back to it,

Hi, I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem with TeX labels I ran into the other day... finally I discovered that 1. MkIV (textext) includes TeX material as one single chunk apparently while MkII (btex ... etex) used to include a decomposable picture and that 2. the anchor point is
