Hello,
Typically the numbers are rendered white in black
circle. I could use the Dingbats numbers, but it is limited to 10, so  
that
I emulated them with the following code to be able to go up to 99.
The questions I have:
- Is it the right way to do it in context (do I really need metafont?
Simpler, smarter method?)
...
\setupcolors[state=start]
\startuniqueMPgraphic{CoCircle}
   fill fullcircle xysized (OverlayWidth,OverlayHeight) withcolor  
OverlayColor ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
I see here the Hans touch again: it's better and I don't really understand  
how it works :-)
But there's something strange: the first circle is greater than the others  
(but the numbers have all the same size). Tracing a bit I see that the  
first circle has a width=16.5333pt, the others 13.19997pt. What's the  
reason for this?
what os the exact code that you use?how many mp runs do yuo have?
