I am beginning to realise just how complex the world of colour is when it comes to typesetting/printing (a fact of which I have remained in blissful ignorance until now). I am also starting to think that the pre-flight check for "List non B/W objects" in Adobe Acrobat 7.1 are not as reliable as one might hope -- the behaviour does not seem to be deterministic, nor does it appear to tally with reality : all six pages of the PDF generated by code below are reported as "Object uses black only is not true". But I am even more confused to discover that in XeTeX, the first four blocks all yield visibly black-on-white text, yet only two instances yields true black while two of the others yield RGB black and the fifth yields RGB white -- this must indicate that I do not understand the function of the "transparency" byte in XeTeX's font syntax. And the sixth and final block yields RGB black despite the call to \color [cmyk] ... \nopagenumbers \input eplain \beginpackages \usepackage {color} \endpackages \font \thisfont = "Arial Unicode MS" \thisfont I appear in black-on-white and am true black (0.0) \vfill \eject \font \thisfont = "Arial Unicode MS:color=000000" \thisfont I appear in black-on-white and am RGB black (0/0/0) \vfill \eject \font \thisfont = "Arial Unicode MS:color=FFFFFF" \thisfont I appear in black-on-white and am true black (0.0) \vfill \eject \font \thisfont = "Arial Unicode MS:color=0000007F" \thisfont I appear in black-on-white and am RGB black (0/0/0) \vfill \eject \font \thisfont = "Arial Unicode MS:color=FFFFFF7F" \thisfont I appear in white-on-white and am RGB white (1/1/1) \vfill \eject \font \thisfont = "Arial Unicode MS:color=000000" \thisfont \color [cmyk] {0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4} I appear in black-on-white and am RGB black (0/0/0) despite the call to \string \color \space [cmyk] ... \vfill \eject \end -- Philip Taylor
