Hi,

Was anyone able to look at this? :-)

the rotate macro was cleaned up (arb location=depth|fit|broad|high % \dostepwiserecurse{0}{360}{10} % {\startlinecorrection[blank] % \hbox % {\expanded{\setuprotate[rotation=\recurselevel]}% % \traceboxplacementtrue % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=depth] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (depth)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=fit] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (fit)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=broad] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (broad)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=normal]{\ruledhbox{\bfb (normal)}}}}% % \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=high] {\ruledhbox{\bfb (high)}}}}} % \stoplinecorrection}

Hi syndicate,

I have found a serious problem in the latest ConTeXt: when using \rotate[]{}, \raise does not seem to work probably. Consider the following example, simplified from a larger macro:

=============test-rotate-c.tex================ \def\cupd{\leavevmode\rotate[rotation=180]{c}} % ConTeXt dependent!

\def\HAMZAH{\leavevmode\raise.9ex\hbox{\txx\cupd}{}} \def\AYN {\leavevmode\raise.9ex\hbox{\txx c}{}}

\def\'{\HAMZAH} \def\`{\AYN}

\starttext

\`ish\=a\'

\stoptext =============================================

In ConTeXt-2003.2.11, both the `c' and the rotated `c' appear at the same height. In the latest ConTeXt the rotated `c' is not as high as the normal `c'.

Please advise;-)

Best Idris
