Hi, I'm experimenting with xetex as suggested. All ok up to know. But I'm having a strange problem with figures. Typically I create my diagrams with Omnigraffle, export them in pdf (default setting) and reimport them in ConTeXt. Always fine. Using texexec --xtx I'm having a strange scale in vertical dimension, i.e. the figure is vertically stretched. The figure is ok, because the problem does not arise when I omit the -xtx flag. The code I'm using is trivial \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} No stretching using a png instead of a pdf \placefigure{{\em Semiotiche}: produzione, distribuzione e accesso.} {\externalfigure[pipeline][width=\textwidth]} I guess it could it be in some way related to fonts (the fig is a a diagram labelled with text)?

Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
