Hi Keith,

following testfile perhaps describes my problem better:

\starttext
\startMPpage
drawdot (origin);
label.rt (textext("right") , origin) ;
label.top (textext("top") , origin) ;
label.lft (textext("left") , origin) ;
label.bot (textext("bottom") , origin) ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

If i run it by texexec(mkii), all is ok, with context(mkiv) the labels overlap.

I try to add the problematic mkiv pdf.

Greetings Lutz

Hi Lutz,

With
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.74.0-2012122517 (rev 4541)
ConTeXt ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV fmt: 2013.2.9 int: english/english

Things look fine. Actually, without textext the left and right seem to be aligned

on the baseline. Where with textext it is aligned in the middle of the text, which
I find to be the correct way.

regards
Keith
