I read on the wiki that now svg is natively supported. Hmm. I am missing a trick here: I try ___ \starttext Hello world \externalfigure[ChangingField_ILUC.pdf \stoptext __ And all goes as expected: I get output with the expected graphic in place But if I try ___ \starttext Hello world \externalfigure[ChangingField_ILUC.svg] \stoptext ___ I get : !LuaTeX error: cannot find image file 'm_k_i_v_ChangingField_ILUC.pdf' ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Is it time to update context? From the date of the wiki revision it seems not, since I am on ConTeXt ver: 2011.11.29 23:11 MKIV FWIW, I cannot find the intermediate file 'm_k_i_v_ChangingField_ILUC.pdf' on my disk either…both graphics files are in the same location, both exist, both are named correctly…. Thanks Ian
