[NTG-context] Metapost: minus sign as "unknown"

1 Aug 2004


      Dear list,

please find attached a small ConTeXt file using metapost and
mp-format.mp.  When compiled directly (with \write18 enabled), the minus
sign of the first MPgraphic is rendered (by metapost) as "unknown".  The
very same code in the second example works.  When compiling with texexec
--automp, the problem does not exist.
