Hi Hans,
Do you have pstoedit installed ?
root@debian:/home/fab# apt-cache search pstoedit
libpstoedit0c2a - PostScript to editable vector graphics library (runtime
files)
root@debian:/home/fab#
I compile the file test.tex with context test.tex

Anyway, there is a new mechanism that doesn't depend on additional programs:
% outlinetext (text) transformations ; % outlinetext.d (text) (draw options) transformations ; % outlinetext.f (text) (fill options) transformations ; % outlinetext.b (text) (draw options) (fill options) transformations ; % outlinetext.r (text) (fill options) (draw options) transformations ;
\starttext
\startMPdefinitions let graphictext = new_graphictext ; \stopMPdefinitions
\startMPpage
draw outlinetext.b ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}") (withcolor .5white) (withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10) xsized 10cm ;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
draw outlinetext.r ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}") (withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10) (withcolor .5white) xsized 10cm ;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
draw outlinetext.d ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}") (withcolor .5white) xsized 10cm ;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
picture p ; p := outlinetext.p("PX") ;
for i within p : draw i withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10 ; endfor ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext
