Dear Hans,
The following example worked perfectly fine with the version of ConTeXt MKIV I was using one hour ago (no idea which version, but something less than two weeks old). It still works OK with MKII and it works much worse in the real document that I'm using.
In my document both images are completely screwed up. Here it's only the second one and if I comment out the first one, the second figure comes out fine, so I'm a bit clueless about what magic is going on inbetween.
Nothing in TikZ has changed (I'm still using the "frozen" version from November 2009 from minimals), so it must have something to do with ConTeXt MKIV. It just messes up with some boxes on the page in some unpredictable way.
Hans,
thanks a lot for the really nice simple example.
I have no clue ... maybe some magic tikz variable (or shared register) that does not get reset?
I have no clue either, but this has never been a problem before and it still works perfectly in both pdfTeX and XeTeX. So something really looks suspicious on the MKIV part.
After some tracing and hard thinking Taco and I found interesting spaces showing up in the output that result from a kludge in tikz: Normally one will use \ignorespaces to catch spurious spaces but tikz invokes \nullfont assuming that its fontdimen 2 is zero. But, in context it no longer is (prelude to delayed font loading). You can put this in cont-new.mkiv as a temporary hack \let\normalnullfont\nullfont \def\nullfont {\fontdimen1\normalnullfont\zeropoint \fontdimen2\normalnullfont\zeropoint \fontdimen3\normalnullfont\zeropoint \fontdimen4\normalnullfont\zeropoint \fontdimen5\normalnullfont\zeropoint \fontdimen6\normalnullfont\zeropoint \fontdimen7\normalnullfont\zeropoint \normalnullfont} ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
