Hi,

It seems that some things doesn't work well with ConTeXt and XeTeX for Linux. For example image inclusion (jpg, png, pdf) with \externalfigure or \useexternalfigure doesn't work, but does with xdvipdfmx \special's (\special{pdf: image ...}). Also, \setuppapersize doesn't work (e. g. \setuppapersize[A5][A5] does the same as \setuppapersize[A5][A4], being A4 the default).

But \color seems to work well.

Are these ConTeXt bugs (related to \special's) or Linux XeTeX-xdvipdfmx bugs?

no, more a matter of deciding what to use i.e. a mixture of xetex and dpx specials (i'm playing with that now with a linux vm); somehow xetex barks about an newer pdf version number; i wonder why it does not let dvipdfmx do the inclusion (the tricky part is that we need to determine the dimensions) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
