Dear all,
as I have seen on the mailing list digest, my original (HTML) mail has been
scrambled. Sorry for that. Here the repost:
I would like to produce an svg file from a Metapost input file using some of
ConTeXt's typesetting features (esp. using System OTF Fonts) using something
like:
\startbuffer[buffer:dummy]
\start
\startcolor[white]
\framed[align=middle,width=28mm,frame=off]
{
\SansBodyBold % Font definition done earlier
Test to \par
rendered \par
}
\stopcolor
\stop
\stopbuffer
%
\startuniqueMPgraphic{mp:margin}
picture text;
text := btex \getbuffer[buffer:dummy] etex;
draw text shifted(-11.8mm,-4.8mm );
% Some more fancy drawing her
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
Can I render that with MetaPost to SVG?
Is it possible to render text as paths not as referenced glyphs in
MetaPost/ConTexT?
Unfortunately I have to stick to SVG as the resulting output format.
Converting from PDF to SVG is not an option at the moment due a) performance
considerations and b) trouble with generated font names in the resulting
ConTeXt PDF file (inkscape as well as pdf2svg produce real strange results).
Please let me know, if you need furhter information.
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Ralf
