Re: [NTG-context] metaobj and luatex 0.42.0

This minimal example works with "texexec example.tex" but fails with "context example.tex".

\startMPinclusions input metaobj; \stopMPinclusions

\starttext \startMPpage newBox.a(\sometxt{hello world}); a.c = origin; drawObj(a);

\stopMPpage \stoptext

Is this expected to work (I realize the 0.42.0 is very new)

I am not surprised it fails. Most metapost code in mkiv is run at least twice for some reason, and so equations tend to fail. You could try with \startMPpage newBox.a(\sometxt{hello world}); a.c := origin; drawObj(a); \stopMPpage but even then it depends on what newBox does internally. Best wishes, Taco
