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 :
metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled'
metapost > output file 'mpout.log', mode 'w', ftype 'log'
metapost > output file 'test2-mpgraph.mpd', mode 'w', ftype 0
metapost > output file 'test2-mpgraph.mpd', mode 'w', ftype 0
metapost > error: (/Users/quayjay/context/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/mp-text.mpiv)
