Definitely I need to do an upgrade. But I noticed another problem: The context-live pdf is black/white, whereas on my system the figures come out in color. I could reproduce the difference with the following: $ texexec --pdf 3 => 3.pdf is B/W versus $ texexec 3.tex $ dvips 3 $ ps2pdf 3.ps => 3.pdf is in color texexec --color makes the two pathways give identical pdf files, but shouldn't they also be identical (and B/W) without the --color? Or is that too much of a mess, to inquire into what colors the metapost (or other EPS) figures are doing. -Sanjoy `A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.' - Bertrand de Jouvenal
