Hi Hans,

I am afraid there is a bug in the latest mptopdf. It presents itself by spurious spaces in the output for long postscript strings. Here is an example:

% uncomment next two lines for viewing in gv(1) %defaultfont := "Times-Roman"; %prologues := 1; beginfig(1); label ("This string wraps to a second line"& " in the metapost output",(origin)); endfig; end.

The created pdf document has a space after the p in metapost. The output contains:

(This\040string\040wraps\040to\040a\040second\040line\040in\040the\040metap\

ost\040output) cmr10 9.96265 fshow

This works ok here: \starttext \startMPpage label ("This string wraps to a second line"& " in the metapost output",(origin)); \stopMPpage \stoptext i wonder where your metap\<newline>ost comes from, is that something in your local mp? what happens if you set the line length in mp larger?
