prints "H盲? ***" (* denotes three other characters which are not 中文？)
In addition I get:

Maybe it is beacuse of the encoding of your .tex file.
The encoding of my tex source file is cp936 and I edit with gvim.
ConTeXt compiles OK when processing Chinese. I din't use
\enableregime[utf] or \language[cn] to typeset Chinese.

[NTG-context] float over both text and margin
Hi.
1) I am unsuccessfully solving the problem of making float spanning both
text and margin. More over, it is inside columnset... Example follows.
Is there some solution?
-
\showframe
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[margin=0pt,rightmargin=1.5cm,width=middle]
\starttext
\startcolumnset
\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \endgraf\blank}
\placefloat[page]{none}
{\framed
[width=\dimexpr\makeupwidth+\rightmarginwidth+
\rightmargindistance\relax,
height=\textheight]
{Here I would like to be a float over both text and margin. How?}
}
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \endgraf\blank}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext
-
2) As a side effect I discover that in the following example the float
is over the text (so some text is disappeared).
-
\showframe
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setuplayout[margin=0pt,rightmargin=1.5cm,width=middle]
\starttext
\startcolumnset
\dorecurse{2}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\placefloat[page]{none}
{\framed
[width=\makeupwidth,height=\textheight,background=screen]
{Here I would like to be a float over both text and margin. How?}
}
\dorecurse{10}{\input knuth \endgraf}
\stopcolumnset
\stoptext

But the labels will not appear when the same program is run either in Fedora or Slackware. I compared the macros present in RedHat 9 with those in Fedora and Slackware. There seems no difference. Please suggest a solution to overcome this problem with porting the program. metafun assume at some points a cooperation between mp and tex, so maybe that piece is failing does texexec --automp --pdf yourfile work?
