Re: [NTG-context] [Metapost] Using mkIV and metapost to produce SVG

Dear all,
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?
no
Is it possible to render text as paths not as referenced glyphs in
MetaPost/ConTexT?
no, unless you use the graphic text features
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).
performance should not really be an issue as one can cache
what strange results?

Yes, Thanks.
I thought of this as a work-around, but the first is clearly a bug.
iirc, Hans says this is an intentional difference between mkii and mkiv,
but it is not yet on the wiki page because I am not sure what to write
down.
Best wishes,
Taco

I thought of this as a work-around, but the first is clearly a bug.
What actually works is:
\setupcolors [state=start]
\starttext
\startuniqueMPgraphic{test}
for i = 0 upto 10 :
%draw thelabel(decimal i, (i, 0) scaled 1cm) withcolor red ;
draw thelabel(textext(\red decimal i ),
(i, 0) scaled 1cm) ;
endfor ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\uniqueMPgraphic{test}
\stoptext
Now it is up to the experts to fix the bug in mkiv.

May I bet that Alan is using linux for which I need Hans' build for

the current ones fail (the old version of svn on debian sarge doesn't

Thanks.
I checked, and it is broken on amd64:
MTXrun | main context file: /home/local/context/tex/texmf-
context/tex/context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2009.11.24 10:13
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.45.0-2009112119
But works on i686:
MTXrun | main context file: /home/dell/local/context/tex/texmf-
context/tex/context/base/context.tex
MTXrun | current version: 2009.11.24 10:13
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.44.0-2009110210
So it is a luatex bug in Version beta-0.45.0-2009112119
