Hallo, my ConTeXt ignore btex-etex command. It works as the btex-etex command is empty. No text on output. Simple example: \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{test} picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm; draw p; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{test} \stoptext On output is only page number. In the 'mpgraph.mp' is (if a skip some definitions): ResetTextAreas ; SaveTextAreas ; ResetTextAreas ; if unknown context_core : input mp-core.mp ; fi ; local_multi_par_area:=false; ;; verbatimtex \global \loadfontfileoncetrue etex; let mprunend = end ; beginfig(1); picture p; p := btex TEST etex scaled 5cm; draw p; endfig; let end = mprunend ; end. If a extract a part with beginfig(1); picture p; p := btex TEST etex; draw p; endfig; end. and proccess it with mpost it works good. My ConTeXt comes from Fedora Core 3 distribution. Any suggestion how to solve it? -- JP
