Re: [NTG-context] metapost fill between outlines
The only letter (g) I have left in the logo has two spaces that I want to cut
out.
I can't make a single path out of it so that it doesn't go through the entire
letter, so what to do in this case?
Here's the example:
%%%
\starttext

Re: [NTG-context] metapost fill between outlines
You can fill out the bigger one, than clips the smaller one. Can you give me an example with the clip? I can't get it work in a way I want to have it. I've found another thread here: http://www.tug.org/pipermail/metapost/2006-September/000650.html But I fail to see the conclusion there too.

This works here.
Based on this I can now cut out the smaller one from a fullcircle, but it still
fails with two paths having controls (or maybe because of something else).

Maybe you can know why now, from the above code. The direction of the
