Hi again, I have tried to implement Adityas suggestions. Now pagebreaks are correct. But how can I minimize the whitespace between stanzas. There shouldn't be much more than a \smallskip. I tried to look it up in the contextgarden wiki, but an entry on verses seems to be missing, so I could

If you set prologues := 1 in the mp file, that should help. That still gave Courier fonts after including fig.1 in test.ps. In a new metapost (texlive2007) you can even generate an image with the font included by using prologues := 3. That worked. [I'm using MetaPost 0.993 (Web2C 7.5.6)

Hi Hans... \unknown is cryptic; why not just... \ellipsis? That's what it is after all, and it's immediately obvious, easier to remember, etc-) (at least as an official synonym...) Note that you could also have \setupellipsis: '...' is the most prevalent but not the only form it can

Since they are not going to process the source, how about generating a pdf and then converting the pdf into ps. That's a good idea. I'll do that or set prologues := 3 if I cannot figure out what change I need to make in the ConTeXt configuration. I'd like to figure out what's wrong with the

Hi, I've tried Hans' example introduced at mwidget-p.pdf, it's perfect. But when I was trying some subpage arrangements, it just failed. How could it happen? I guess either shiping out subpages forget the fields or something has covered over them. Here's a small example (by the way, I don't

can also try to create the pd file by hand with dvips -Ppdf test, that gave a correct output on my system. Thanks, that works. I guess -Ppdf tells it to use map files that find the type1 fonts, so cmr in the metapost figures is replaced by the lmodern .pfb. Oh, that's not what happens: it
