Hi,
I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem with TeX labels I ran into the other
day... finally I discovered that
1. MkIV (textext) includes TeX material as one single chunk apparently while
MkII (btex ... etex) used to include a decomposable picture and that
2. the anchor point is completely different!
Is there any way to restore both the "individual addressing" of glyphs and the
MkII anchor point in MkIV?
This would be crucial for a customized labelling macro...
Best,
Oliver
P.S. Why is "h," included as one piece in MkII?
the fact that you have pieces in mkii is a side effect of dvitomp
turning dvi output in mp pictures; in the process it combines glyphs
that have no kerning and whatever spacing becomes shifts
in mkiv the text is treated as a whole and that will not change
so, if in mkiv you want pieces, you need to textext each snippet that
you want as such
keep in mind that the way mkii (read: external tex processing and
dvitomp) works is quite unpredictable
