make sure \protectbufferstrue is set in cont-sys.tex
Thanks, Patrick. \protectbufferstrue is uncommented (I guess that's the default, isn't it?). Does the btex...etex work on your box? Could anyone running Mac OS X (10.2 for the time being) verify if it works on their systems?

Hi Thomas, I use Mac OS X (10.3 since today... but the following is independent of whether you use 10.2 or 10.3) together with TeXShop and Gerben Wierda's distribution of TeX. The first example you sent, that is: %% first example \startuniqueMPgraphic{copyright} picture p ; p := btex COPYRIGHT etex rotated 90 ; setbounds p to boundingbox p enlarged 1pt ; draw p withcolor .8white ; currentpicture := currentpicture xysized (\overlaywidth,\overlayheight) ; \stopuniqueMPgraphic \defineoverlay[copyright][\uniqueMPgraphic{copyright}] \setupbackgrounds[text][rightmargin][background=copyright] \starttext \input knuth.tex \stoptext %% end first example does not produce what is expected. The second example you sent, that is: %% second example \startuseMPgraphic{draft} draw "draft" infont "phvb" scaled 9 rotated 65 withcolor .95white ; currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[draft][\uniqueMPgraphic{draft}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=draft] \starttext \input knuth.tex \stoptext %% end second example does produce the watermark "draft". The third example %% third example \startuseMPgraphic{brouillon} draw btex brouillon etex ; % draw "brouillon" infont "phvb" scaled 6 rotated 70 withcolor .95white ; currentpicture := currentpicture ysized (\overlayheight-3cm) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[brouillon][\uniqueMPgraphic{brouillon}] \setupbackgrounds[page][background=brouillon] \starttext \input knuth.tex \stoptext %% end third example does not produce what is expected. I should say that I am not enough self-confidence to change the file cont-sys.tex as suggested by Patrick... Best regards: OK
