thank you Harban and Keith McKay. \startMPpage
picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [ kind = "path", text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o", ] ;
fill for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection down withshadecolors (red, blue) ; \stopMPpage
I'll add this:
\startMPpage draw lmt_outline [ kind = "outline", text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o", ] withshademethod "linear" withshadedirection down withshadecolors (red, blue) ; \stopMPpage
so a single path option (no picture)
