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

I have just figured out that weird scaling of jpg figures came from

XeTeX, not from ConTeXt. Actually, xdv2pdf driver works OK, while

xdvipdfmx driver uses some arbitrary scaling. (I might be that

resolution wrong in original file, but \XeTeXpicfile "file" width5cm

should result in exactly 5cm width, no more and no less.)

Can you send me one of problematic PDFs? I would like to check whether

the problem lies in ConTeXt or XeTeX ...
