</span>ConTeXt supports PRC by now (or at least I think it does), but we<br>
won't have time to add support for it in time for TL 2015 anyway, so<br>
true, no need to worry about true 3D.<br>

</span>Actually this is all that is needed for printed materials.<br>
<br>
In all honesty I could have certainly used another engine, but I'm<br>
more comfortable and familiar doing the font setup in ConTeXt.<br>

</span>Yes, it works better now, but some things still break. I will send the<br>
source code and some logs off-list.<br>
