Is it possible to generate eps files using metafun and context?

Is it possible to generate eps files using metafun and context?

[Hongwen Qiu]

Hi,

Is it possible to typeset the label with context and generate eps output 
files using the metafun format? If yes, then how?

TIA.

\startMPpage

or

\startTEXpage

\stopTEXpage

and then use pstopdf to turn the pdf into an eps

You must mean pdftops, since pstopdf cannot convert pdf files into eps 
but pdftops can.

I tried pdftops, the result quality is high, but since my desire is to 
provide eps figures to others that have to insert high quality figures 
into Microsoft Word, the pdftops converted eps files cannot insert into 
Microsoft Word. Fortunately, I have found out that pstopdf uses 
ghostscript/Inkscape to do the real job, and I use ghostscript directly 
to convert pdf into eps, the quality is high enough with the -dNOCACHE 
option (I had tried inkscape before my last posting a few weeks ago, and 
the resulting quality is not high enough when I'm using Fedora 16. But 
it seems that inkscape in Fedora 17 produces better quality now, though 
ghostscript is better), and it can be recognized by Microsoft Word.

Thanks for the information.
