Dear list, I have the following sample: \starttext \startMPcode path p ; p := reverse halfcircle scaled 5cm; path q ; q := reverse halfcircle rotatedaround (origin, 180) scaled 5cm ; draw p; draw q; draw followtext(p, "·Just follow the tokens") ; draw followtext(q, "Just follow the tokens·") ; draw followtext(reverse q, "Just follow the tokens·") ; \stopMPcode \stoptext Is there any way to followtext in q without changing text direction? I need to write the text counter-clockwise, but on outside of the path. Reverse changes both text direction and side of the text (related to the path) and I don’t want to change text direction. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
