Hi, overprinting is broken here. I used \dostartoverprint in the past, but this no longer works. What is the recommended way for overprinted text nowadays? *EXAMPLE ATTACHED* MTXrun | current version: 2009.09.12 14:44 This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.43.0-2009090309 pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.10-2.2 (Web2C 2009) Best wishes, Peter \ifnum\contextmarkmode=4 \def\dostartoverprint% yes... one of the category 'asking for trouble' :D {\ctxlua{overprints.enabled=true}} \def\dostopoverprint% {\ctxlua{overprints.enabled=false}} \fi \starttext \starttextoverprint Overprint \stoptextoverprint % fails in both marks \dostartoverprint Overprint \dostopoverprint % fails in mkiv only \stoptext

I see. A quick test shows, that this macro is not working with mkii (an updated example is attached). Sadly this macro also does not work in my graphics, if I simply exchange \dostartoverprint with \startoverprint (regardless of the mark).

you need to enable it with \setupcolors[overprint=yes] btw, your mkiv definitions do nothing (just toggle some flag) and the \dodriverthing's are gone anyway ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I tried that one before, but it enables kind of global overprinting in mkii (all but \startoverprinting, including the mp graphic). In case of mkiv this breaks the \startoverprinting macro (so no overprinting at all). I attached a new example.

Ok, then I must find a new working overprinting macro for my texts.
