Hallo, I have it found! In chapter 4.1.1.10 of the luatex reference one can read: The argument name is a bit special in this case. Its form is <base res>dpi/<fontname>.<actual res>pk Wolfgang

Vertical alignment in combinations

Hi, Please, advise. I want two pictures to stand side-by side. The first picture has much smaller height. In result, the pictures are aligned by the bottom line. How to move the first figure up in the center or top (at least, manually)? \startcombination[2*1] {\externalfigure[lily02.png]}{} {\externalfigure[scr-4-4.png][scale=750]}{} \stopcombination Please, see attachement BR, Vyatcheslav

So let's test if I have understand this: With \setupletterstyle[option][backaddress=no|yes] one can disable|enable a backaddress. With \setupletterstyle[backaddress][alternative=no|yes|auto] one can select between no backadress| a composed backaddress from the fromdata| the yes behaviour if no predefined backaddress is defined And to define such a own backaddress, one uses \setlettervalue{backaddress}{something} Hopefully this is right!
