D= ear all,

I would like to produce an svg file from a Metapost input file usin= g some of ConTeXt's typesetting features (esp. using System OTF Fonts) usin= g something like:

\startbuffer[buffer:dummy]
    \s= tart
        \startcolor[white]
&nb= sp;       \framed[align=3Dmiddle,width=3D28mm,frame=3Doff]
        {
        \SansBod= yBold % Font definition done earlier
Test to \par
rendered \par
 =       }
        \stopc= olor
    \stop
\stopbuffer

% ....
<= div style=3D"font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

=
\startuniqu= eMPgraphic{mp:margin}    
    pic= ture text;
    text :=3D btex \getbuffer[buffer:dummy] = etex;
    draw text shifted(-11.8mm,-4.8mm );
=
=    % Some more fancy drawing her
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

Can I render that with MetaPost to SVG?
Is it possible to render text as path= s not as referenced glyphs in MetaPost/ConTexT?


Unfortunately I have to st= ick to SVG as the resulting output format.
Converting from PDF to SVG is not a= n option at the moment due a) performance considerations and b) trouble wit= h generated font names in the resulting ConTeXt PDF file (inkscape as well = as pdf2svg produce real strange results). 
 

Please let me know, if y= ou need furhter information.
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,

Ralf<= /div>
