Forgot to tell why I need the glyph paths... I implemented multi path support in drops yesterday and now I want to test it with some glyphs. Currently I use Inkscape (export the glyph path as PDF) and pdftoedit to finally get a MP path. Time consuming and the result still needs a manual clean-up.
Here is my current test example. Needless to say, that the path blew up my code in the first run (a too low threshold value) :-D http://www.wuala.com/indiego/public/ConTeXt/pathtest.pdf Am 19.02.2014 13:25, schrieb Peter Rolf: > Hi, > > I tried the "Dcaron" example from the MetaPost manual (page 50) and it > works nicely when called with "mpost". > > % Dcaron.mp > fontmapfile"=lm-ec.map"; > beginfig(56); > picture q; > path p; > interim ahlength:=12bp; > interim ahangle:=25; > q:= glyph "Dcaron" of "ec-lmr10" scaled .2; > for item within q: > p:= pathpart item; > drawarrow p withcolor(.6,.9,.6) withpen pencircle scaled 1.5; > for j=0 upto length p: > pickup pencircle scaled .7; > draw (point j of p -- precontrol j of p) > dashed evenly withcolor blue; > draw (point j of p -- postcontrol j of p) > dashed evenly withcolor blue; > pickup pencircle scaled 3; > draw precontrol j of p withcolor red; > draw postcontrol j of p withcolor red; > pickup pencircle scaled 2; > draw point j of p withcolor black; > endfor > endfor > endfig; > % ------- > > But how can I get the glyph path(s) with luatex (mplib)? > > Minimal example (glyph.mkiv) and console output are attached (log is > empty).
