With the new beta, this stress test for \sometxt works fine:

Well, it comes out in red, then blue, but the last two letters ('lo') are in black, I guess because pdftex doesn't have a color stack. But that's not what I was meaning to test. I just wanted to test \sometxt and it looks good.
this is tricky; context has a color stack, but the text and mp stuff work independently (in mp there is no symmetry in color handling); i can imagine a different handling of mp colors, but this will slow down things (comes down to pushing and popping colors on the context color stack and such) in this situation, i think that the best we can do is to revert to the current color, so i patched things a bit: test case: \setupcolors[state=start,textcolor=red] \starttext red \color[green]{green \startMPcode label(\sometxt{green\color[blue]{blue}green}, origin) withcolor red; draw fullcircle scaled 1cm xscaled 2; \stopMPcode green} red \stoptext
But, the following now doesn't work (I'm pretty sure it would have worked with 2006.08.08 because I've been using the boxes macros alot):
================= dc2.tex [my crazy naming scheme] =================== \starttext
\startMPinclusions input boxes \stopMPinclusions
\startstaticMPfigure{fig} boxit.h(btex h etex); drawboxed(h); \stopstaticMPfigure
\usestaticMPfigure[fig]

\stoptext ====================================================

hm, i'll add the inclusions (here it fails anyway doe to some clearboxes->clearboxes .clearb_(h); clearboxes->clearboxes .clearb_(h); clearboxes->clearboxes .clearb_(h); clearboxes->clearboxes .clearb_(h); clearboxes->clearboxes no time to look into that now (i never use boxes) i'll make a new beta Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
