Dear all,

with this minimalist content of metapost file:

``` beginfig(1); dotlabel.ulft("A", origin); endfig; end. ```

And this conteXt file:

``` \starttext \startMPrun input mymp.mp; \stopMPrun \externalfigure[mprun.21][width=5cm] \stoptext ```

The resulting pdf file contains no figure. But this conteXt file works:

``` \starttext \startMPcode dotlabel.ulft("A", origin); \stopMPcode \stoptext ``` As with any metapostfile which does not contain labels. But as soon as there is label, their is no figure.

Two last things: if I compile the metapost file with standalone metapost, I can include the resulting file as an external figure. But if I put a label "A'", while with displaying figure with a viewer it is ok, when included in a conteXt file, I only obtain "A" label. Also, if I try to change the font in the metapost file (for example defaultfont:="pplr8r";) it does not work in conteXt.

the end. is the problem, remove it and it works; but even then the image's boundingbox is wrong i uploaded a bete that tries to work around both (hopefully without side effects) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
