Hi,
This small piece of code gives me a wrong result:
\startuseMPgraphic{teste} z7 = (5cm,0); label.lrt("Pontão",z7);
Metapost can only handle very basic strings. Don't use Metapost for writing text.
\stopuseMPgraphic
I just have to change 'btex Pont\~ao etex' for 'Pontão' and everything goes fine.
label(\sometxt{Pontão},z7);
Indeed. Using \sometxt{...} is strongly recommended. btex ... etex behaves strange and consumes a considerable amount of extra time to compile your document. Mojca
