Re: Problem with bit maps with ConTeXt under MikTeX (works fine using LaTeX)

Hi Bruce,

dvips supports (some versions of) bmp as image format, pdftex as driver doesn't (in pdf mode, that is). If you output a DVI file, it can pass on the emtex specials essentially like latex does, but there is no support for that in Context.

If you send me the bmp file, I can probably hack it in. But bmp is a silly format and it is only partially supported by dvips anyway. So, why do you want to use it?
