Hi all, I'm struggling with a new installation here on my MacBook. One problem I have is that mptopdf bails out when I have textext code in my mpgraphics. There were a couple of similar problems in the mailing list a while back, but no real solution. When I compare the mpgraph.log output from this new install with the output from a good installation, these are the diffs I get: -(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) **test-mpgraph.mp (test-mpgraph.mp -{randomseed:=33} -write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpo'. +{randomseed:=3203} -write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpt'. +! Extra tokens will be flushed. +<to be read again> + @@@ +<argument> ...font [MyAGaramondPrempnum,11pt] "@@@ + string.contextversion +graphictextdirective->...graphictextstring&(TEXT0) + &CRLF; +<to be read again> + ; +l.19 string contextversion; + +? x - [1] -metafun 2006-10-30 22:30 - ) -1 output file written: test-mpgraph.1 From what I've understood, metapost seems to be calling the wrong text (tex instead of texexec), but where can this be fixed? The configuration on both installations is identical (write 18 enabled, identical cont-sys.tex). Thanks Thomas
Disregard the message; I just updated ConTeXt with Gerben's latest installer package, and the problem is gone. Thomas On Oct 31, 2006, at 11:34 AM, Thomas A. Schmitz wrote:

Hi Thomas, You can also try texexec --mpgraphic file.mp AFAIK, it should be equivalent to mptopdf, if not better. It creates a temporary tex file, with \setoutput[pdftex] \setupcolors[state=start] % Some lines for font maps \starttext \startTEXpage \convertMPtoPDF{file.1}{1}{1} \stopTEXpage \startTEXpage \convertMPtoPDF{file.2}{1}{1} \stopTEXpage % etc.... \stoptext So, in the end you get a single pdf with each figure on different page.
