Hi All, Hans,

I want to use  build_parshape and shapetext with the latest standalone
ConTeXt  ver: 2013.05.12 22:16 MKIV beta  fmt: 2013.5.13  int:
english/english

with the Example below I get a small box with the top part of a T in it.

Interresting enough the example works with the TexLive 2012 version!
[snip, snip]

So something is astray! I do know that we are using a newer Metapost, but
I assume the problem is the library or how the temporary files are generated
or used.

some kind of initialization issue .. i uploaded a fix (crossed fingers)

Well, the fix work in a way , yet it has introduced a new problem,
or revealed an unnoticed one.
The text is now display in the shape, yet there is no drawing preformed!
The draw of the path is no preformed.
It is even worst. Metapost seems to be doing no drawing at all, even in over
overlays! The all are related to a similar error :

I have attached the complete log file and the source.
The error occurs, also, when the graphic is framed and put into a picture
environment.
I had deleted the standalone version and reinstalled with:
sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex
I have running a MacBook Pro 17" with OSX 10.8.3 

I will also attach the result(test2.pdf) and the result from TexLive 2012(expected.pdf).

Keith.
