Hi,
When experimenting with outlinetext, I found it generally works well for
both text and equations but seems to fail for fractions or square roots.
The code below demonstrates the issue:
____________________________
\startMPpage
draw outlinetext("$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$");
\stopMPpage
____________________________
The ‘1’ and ‘2’ seem to be at the right positions, but the fraction bar
and horizontal part of the radical are missing.
Is there a different fonction I should use for getting the outlines of
equations?
In order to get rules you need this:
\setupmathfractions[rule=yes]
\setupmathradical [rule=yes]
I suppose this is something we can hook in automatically so we need to
discuss that in the cms.
You can also do this:
\disabledirectives [math.extensibles]
In both cases there is a too large radical symbol so this fix is needed
in mlib-fnt.lmt (line 399):
local s = 1000
local sx = 1000
local sy = 1000
After that it should be ok. I need to check the directive but might as
well just leave that as 'not worth the trouble' because going into an
assembled glyph is no fun.
\starttext
\startMPpage
draw lmt_outline [
text = "$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$"
] ;
\stopMPpage
\startTEXpage
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
