Hi Hans I am placing metapost figures in the text: \placefigure{}{\startMPgraphic ...... label.top(textext("\tfx \#3"),z0) \stopMPgraphic\loadcurrentMPgraphic{}\placeMPgraphic} The \# macro disappears and nothing shows up in my figure. The same with other characters as \lbrace\rbrace. How come? Do I misunderstand something? It would be a pity if some characters could not be typeset in figures. Thanks for looking into it.
