is there any way to get utf-8 labels and without the 'strange' space glyph?
A follow-up/answer... (I hate doing this)
textext is a perfect substitute for label. (see metafun-p.pdf)
I think of textext (and \sometxt) as a substitute for btex ... etex, not of label. I substitute of label should also accept a position variable, so that one could write texlabel.top("$x^2$", origin) ; I know this should be simple, but I do not understand the metapost macro language to write such a macro. Writing label.top(textext("$x^2$"), origin) is too verbose. Suggestions? Aditya
