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)?

Many thanks

Best

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. 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.
