Anyway, even if I stick to the above method, the minimal example \starttext \startMPcode graphictext "Test"; \stopMPcode \stoptext doesn't work as expected in mkiv. *.mpy file is empty. In mkii error is issued during the run. Ignoring it finally produces the outlines, so it seems, everything needed is available (gs, pdftops, pstoedit). Anyway, mkiv way is preferred. Thanks for the help, Jano ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
