Re: [NTG-context] makempy (pstoedit <-> gs) hangs
Hallo!
the following code let ghostscript fail. What is wrong her?
Wolfgang
\setupcolors [state=start] \starttext \useMPlibrary[txt] \startlinecorrection \TightText{\ss\bf 123}{0cm}{3cm}{red} \stoplinecorrection \stoptext % %ConTeXt ver: 2007.07.03 19:38 MKII %pstoedit: version 3.44 / DLL interface 108 %GPL Ghostscript 8.57 (2007-05-11)
Don't know if this matters! But the temporary created pdf (input for pstoedit) is a bit smaller then the string to render '123'. The overshut of the round charakters '2' and '3' is cut. Wolfgang

try \ruledhbox{...} and you will observe similar effects, traditional tex has alimited number of heights and depths for fonts and glyphs themselves may have a practical boundingbox different from the tight fitting one; just add struts or enlarge the box Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
