Hello,

I have used lmt_outline in the following example and it is really an improvement over the previous outline "effect" because one can set the fillcolor and drawcolor separately. (that was not possible before, right?)
\starttext \definedfont[dejavusansmono*arabic] \setupalign[r2l] \startMPcode draw lmt_outline [ text = "سلام", drawcolor = "red", fillcolor = "white", kind = "reverse", align = "r2l", ] scaled 3mm; \stopMPcode \stoptext
1. This works well on a plain background. I can specify the background color in fillcolor and get the outline effect. When the background is an image, this does not work too well. Can we use some clip trickery to allow for "transparent" fill? Ideally I want to set the fillcolor to a special value that would lead to only the outlines drawn.
Have you seen this example on the wiki which uses nofill: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Cover_Pages#Empty_or_Transparent_letters Aditya
