Re: pdf bizareness...

Ok Hans. Thanks for taking it into consideration. Take your time do to
whatever you intended to do first. It'll be worthwhile waiting for
sure.

The more I dig into ConTeXt the more I like it ( compared to LaTeX ) -
although the font handling is quite a tough nut to crack. XeTeX makes
it a bit more comprehensible, though I don't have a clue what I'm
doing. I just try different things and keep what works.

Thanks for all that you do.

Have a great weekend,
Alan
