Another test result using ConTeXt + XeTeX

Dear Mojca,

As you told me, I changed "outputdriver" in tex.rb from xdvipdfmx to  
xdv2pdf and run it.
There is no delay at all, but the output pdf lost color and mp stuffs.

I think that it is better to use xdvipdfmx even though it took more  
times.

During the test, I found a strange result. Here is the last part of  
the log file.

%%%%%%%%%%%
systems         : no file 'cont-sys.tex', using 'cont-sys.rme' instead
) )
[7][8][9]  <---   at this point, TeXniscope redisplay the pdf file in  
which backgroundscreen or backgroundcolor is well applied

At this point, it paused for long time

At this point, TeXniscope redisplay the output again and in which  
backgroundscreen and backgroundcolor didn't work.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Do you have  experienced the similar thing?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dalyoung

Support for special stuff such as graphics and color takes time &
effort for each driver separately. Support for metapost has been
improved on the first day when XeTeX for linux came out, but support
for xdv2pdf will most probably never be available unless one of the
users would be willing to write it. (Also, more and more features are
now only available for xdvipdfmx. It might be that support for xdv2pdf
gets dropped completely one day - but I'm just speculating, I don't
know anything about it.)

Sorry, I don't use that program. On Windows I use gsview and
everywhere else I still manuall close & open the viewer.

I have no idea why the long delay occurs.
