Hi Charles and Wolfgang, I have noticed the same problem, as the one Charles is describing, with the « English rule » or the « swelled rule » and mkiv, and I think that this has nothing to do with fonts. Maybe, it is rather with the way \localhsize is defined in recent versions of mkiv: the « rule » appears in a rather starnge way on different pages. My minimal example test file: %%%%%%%%%%% %% defining swelled rule, or English rule... \setupMPvariables[SwelledRule][height=2pt,breadth=.667\localhsize] \startuniqueMPgraphic{SwelledRule}{height,breadth} x1 = 0; x2 = x6 = .333x4; x3 = x5 = .667x4; x4 = \MPvar{breadth}; y1 = y4 = \MPvar{height}/2; y2 = y3 = \MPvar{height}; y5 = y6 = 0; fill z1--z2--z3--z4--z5--z6--cycle; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \def\SwelledRule{\blank% \setlocalhsize\midaligned{\reuseMPgraphic{SwelledRule}}\blank} %% end swelled rule \starttext \dorecurse{20}{\input knuth \par \blank \SwelledRule \input knuth \page} \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%% Best regards: OK On 24 nov. 2009, at 13:57, Charles Doherty wrote:
Dear Hans and Wolfgang,
I have started experimenting with the Lua engine through TeXShop. I use \EnglishRule in a Newsletter to separate major items. When I use it in the attached file it works as always when I use the ConteXt engine (TL2009) and in my minimals installation it works fine using MinimalsConTeXt engine and MinimalsXeConTeXt engine. When I switch to using the simplefonts module in MinimalsLua engine the \EnglishRule does not behave properly. Also the text switches to italic. I have attached a small file and if you comment out the lines and switch between the engines you can see what I mean.
Thanks for any help, Best wishes, Charlie
