just not implemented ... i pushed an update so you can check the binary from the build farm
Oh thanks! I wasn't aware that there was a separate implementation in LMTX. All the best, Yann On 12/05/2025 00:09, Hans Hagen via ntg-context wrote:

Hi,
I have found that the metapost `hex` function outputs a strange result when run through `context`. I'm not quite sure what is leading to this output, maybe `hex` is redefined in `metafun`?

To reproduce, place the following in test.mp:
``` show hex "8d"; ```
Then run `mpost`, which results in the correct value:
``` mpost -numbersystem=double test.mp ... >> 141 ```
Running the following in context results in the following instead:
``` context test.mp ... >> 56 ```
For some more details on tool versions:
ConTeXt: ConTeXt ver: 2025.04.28 14:29 LMTX fmt: 2025.5.7 int: english/english Metafun: metafun xl 2025-5-9 11:26 Metapost: version 2.02 (TeX Live 2023) (kpathsea version 6.3.5)
For some reason I couldn't manage to load `metafun` in `mpost` directly to test it outside of ConTeXt, getting:
``` ! I can't open file `metafun.mpii'. l.6 input metafun.mpii ```
Thanks in advance, Yann
