Dear list, I have 2 small questions: 1. In \setuplayout if I try to set topspace=5\measured{base} + \dimexpr2bp I get an error. How should I add these 2bp? 2. I have an mp graphic defined in the file "graphic.mp" which has the exact same dimensions as my page. I'd like to set that graphic as a background. How do I do this?

\setuplayout [topspace=\dimexpr 5\measured{base} + 2bp\relax]
2. I have an mp graphic defined in the file "graphic.mp http://graphic.mp" which has the exact same dimensions as my page. I'd like to set that graphic as a background. How do I do this?
\startreusableMPgraphic{backgroundgraphic} input graphic.mp; \stopreusableMPgraphic \defineoverlay [backgroundimage] [\reuseMPgraphic{backgroundgraphic}] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=backgroundimage] Wolfgang

(Untested) \dimexpr\measure{base}+2bp\relax or \dimexpr\measured{base}+2bp\relax should work.

Wolfgang, Aditya, thank you both very much!
I have 2 more questions:
Observe the files here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/18ve5_F-BKOa-TxCWmD02mhPqNXQvNyWK?usp...
1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines align with
the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How would I do that?
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell, but I
see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with the grid. How
would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly monospaced without any
stretching/shrinking trickery?
Sincerely,
Stefan

1. I'd like to shift the text area down so that the red lines align with the blue lines (I think this amount is called depth). How would I do that?
Quick and dirty: \setuplayout [..., topspace=\dimexpr5\measured{base}+2bp+\strutdp\relax, ...]
2. The font is such that exactly 2 characters fit into the grid cell, but I see that towards the end of the line it gets out of sync with the grid. How would I ensure that all text rendered is strictly monospaced without any stretching/shrinking trickery?
Change the text alignment: \setupalign[flushleft,broad] Wolfgang
Thank you very much Wolfgang! But, there is still something weird going on with the font. I updated the files on Drive. Please see line 19, the last word "and". It is clearly out of alignment with the gid. I tested the alignment in MP and it should work, ie 2 characters are indeed one grid cell (semms from the fact that IBM Plex Mono was designed from a typewriter typeface where 12 characters are exactly 1 inch long).

I tried \setupspacing[fixed] but it didn't help. To prove that the font
characters really are half a cell wide I added the line \emdash
\dorecurse{39}{ \emdash}. Files on drive are updated.

Do you use double hyphens (--) in your document because this is what causes the problem. Wolfgang
Yes I may use them. Why is that a problem? Is it some special context syntax? How do I escape them or turn them off? On Tue, Jun 7, 2022 at 5:05 PM Wolfgang Schuster < wolfgang.schuster.lists@gmail.com> wrote:

I just found out that it's a tex shorthand for an endash. Is there a way to
globally turn that shortcut off?
