figures using xetex

figures using xetex

Hi to all,

while finishing this:
http://www.cirma.unito.it/research/alternando/photo/photoBook.pdf

I was experimenting with fonts.  Using xetex, I simply added :

\definetypeface[Optima][rm][Xserif][Optima]
\setupbodyfont[Optima]

Fonts are ok (Optima is used).
I saw that many tmp .rli files are generated. Apart form the  
increasing compiling time, the first problem is that I had to run  
several times texexec --xtx in order to generate them all. Is it normal?
Most important it behaves strangely with layers using pdfs figures.   
Color is not applied, or typically they are not shown.

What am I missing?

Many thanks

PS: no news with the old xetex question concerning fonts in figure?  
It seems that both the problem are related to the use of pdfs to be  
inserted in the ConTeXT file.

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.

This (many .rli files) is normal if you use \externalfigure in an older 
version of ConTeXt, but ...

... if you use the special command \XeTeXpicfile or (in this case) 
\XeTeXpdffile everything should be OK. I'm not sure how this interacts 
with layers (not tested).

HTH,

Jelle

Many thanks Jelle,

I'm solving also following some previous emails in the list.
I have to say that I'm not really fond of changing commands for  
figure control depending on the engine
