Hi All, Hans,
I want to use build_parshape and shapetext with the latest standalone
ConTeXt ver: 2013.05.12 22:16 MKIV beta fmt: 2013.5.13 int: english/english
with the Example below I get a small box with the top part of a T in it.
Interresting enough the example works with the TexLive 2012 version!
Running with latest standalone the following files are created:
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 14410 14 Mai 13:59 test2.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 5132 14 Mai 13:59 test2.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 634 14 Mai 13:59 test2.synctex.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 8413 14 Mai 13:59 test2.tuc
Using MkIV from TeXLive 2012 the following files are created:
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 561 14 Mai 14:09 test2-mpgraph.mpd
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 19404 14 Mai 14:09 test2.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 9638 14 Mai 14:09 test2.pdf
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 3237 14 Mai 14:09 test2.synctex.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex
-rw-r--r-- 1 staff 6079 14 Mai 14:09 test2.tuc
And all is well!
Goofy as I am I tried the standalone again, this works only
partially because the text is not aligned properly.
How can it be the file test2-mograph.mpd was used from the TexLive 2012
version!
So something is astray! I do know that we are using a newer Metapost, but
I assume the problem is the library or how the temporary files are generated
or used.
Any help would be nice.
regards
Keith.
