Ok, I changed it but it does not help. Wolfgang Willi Egger wrote:

Hi Wolfgang,

I do hope that I am not missing something. But I think, that you should say in the MPenvironment: \setupbodyfont[Cmbr,12pt]

Otherwise the setupbodyfont command does not know which font to setup.

Hello,

I have problems with changeing the font in Metapost. I defined my own typescripts somewhere and I also have a mapfile for that fonts. In normal text it workes fine (even math).

Now I want to change the font in MP as well (my text is included as label("test",(200,200));):

%normal stups: \loadmapfile[cmbright.map] %it seems that the mapfile is loaded only once \usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr] \usetypescript[Cmbr] \setupbodyfont[12pt]

\startMPenvironment \loadmapfile[cmbright.map] %it seems that the mapfile is loaded only once \usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr] \usetypescript[Cmbr] \setupbodyfont[12pt] \stopMPenvironment

But I always get the standard CMR output.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

Has anyone an idea what's going wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang, usually I compile the MetaPost fiures into a pdf. I refer to the pictures then by \externalfigure[metapost-pdf][page=1] or similar. Willi Wolfgang Zillig wrote:

Hello all,

finaly I solved my problem: I had my metapost graphic in an external file and used it with:

\startuseMPgraphic{test} \input mp.mp ; \stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{test}

or

\startbuffer[test1] \input mp.mp \stopbuffer

\processMPbuffer[test1,graphic]

in both cases I get the graphic but the font switching does not work. When I copy the content of my graphic file into "\startuseMPgraphic \stopuseMPgraphic" or "\startbuffer \stopbuffer" I works. Is there an explanation for this behaviour? I thought \input would be equal to typing it directly.

What is the best way to handle multiple graphics when I want to use the font switching mechanismn? Any advice?

Thanks alot Wolfgang

Hello all, the last suggestion I made was wrong, to change the font I need (somehow strange) the following code: \loadmapfile[mymap.map] \usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr] \usetypescript[Cmbr] \startMPenvironment[global] \input type-cmbr \usetypescript[Cmbr] \switchtobodyfont[Cmbr,12pt] \stopMPenvironment .... I don't know what I did, that in my typescriptfile that I have explicitely to include it. Willi Egger wrote:

Hi Wolfgang,

I reread your mail, I am not sure, whether I understood your message correctly. therefore here what I usually do:

\setupoutput[pdftex] \useMPlibrary[clp,txt]

can you explain for what the command \useMPlibrary[] is? Thanks, Wolfgang
