Subject: textbackground broken?
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 12:45:02 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47A27FE8-97EC-43FC-ADC3-39178897D4C6@xs4all.nl> (raw)

Is textbackground broken in mkiv? I need its usage (it seems the recommended way to do backgrounds).
The following minimal example fails.
Who is wrong? Is it me or is it ConTeXt?
