Hi Hans, hi all, with the most recent ConTeXt (This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013021110 (rev 4576) ConTeXt ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV fmt: 2013.2.11 int: english/english) there is an alignment problem with labels using textext. Labels without textext work ok. Small example showing the problem: --------------------------------- \starttext \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt (textext("right") , point 0 of p) ; label.top (textext("top") , point 2 of p) ; label.lft (textext("left") , point 4 of p) ; label.bot (textext("bottom") , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \startMPpage pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ; path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ; draw p withcolor .625yellow ; label.rt ("right" , point 0 of p) ; label.top ("top" , point 2 of p) ; label.lft ("left" , point 4 of p) ; label.bot ("bottom" , point 6 of p) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext --------------------------------- Greetings Lutz
