Hans, No luck, even after reinstalling first with: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/cont-tmf.zip and then with: http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip Before unzipping the installations, I deleted c:\texmf\metapost\context and c:\texmf\tex\context\base. Then I unzipped the distribution, refreshed the filename database, and built the formats with: texexec --make --alone After which I had to move metafun.mem to c:\localtexmf\miktex\config\mem and refresh the filename database again. I still got the same error. One point may be a problem? The first time I tried to update my context, I got an error message that the pool size was to small, so I enlarged to the following in miktex.ini. ;; Maximum number of characters in strings, including all ;; error messages and help texts, and the names of all fonts and ;; control sequences; must exceed string_vacancies by the total ;; length of TeX's own strings, which is currently about 23000. pool_size=1000000 I didn't rebuild any latex or other formats. I went straight to texexec --make --alone. Could that be the problem?

Hans, We'll I've tried all that I can think of. I've: 1. Downloaded and installed the latest version of Miktex 2.3. With the fresh installation, which includes Context, I tried compiling: \setupoutput[pdf] \runMPgraphicstrue \setupcolors[state=start] \startuseMPgraphic{FunnyFrame} picture p; numeric w, h, o; p:=textext.rt(\MPstring{FunnyFrame}); w:=OverlayWidth; h:=OverlayHeight; o:=BodyFontSize; p:=p shifted (2o,h-ypart center p); draw p; drawoptions (withpen pencircle scaled 1pt withcolor .625red); draw (2o,h)--(0,h)--(0,0)--(w,0)--(w,h)--(xpart urcorner p, h) ; draw boundingbox p; setbounds currentpicture to unitsquare xyscaled (w,h); \stopuseMPgraphic \defineoverlay[FunnyFrame][\useMPgraphic{FunnyFrame}] \defineframedtext[FunnyText][frame=off,background=FunnyFrame] \def\StartFrame{\startFunnyText} \def\StopFrame{\stopFunnyText} \def\FrameTitle#1% {\setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{\hbox spread 1em {\hss\strut#1\hss}}} \setMPtext{FunnyFrame}{} \starttext \FrameTitle{Zapf (1)} \StartFrame Coming back to the use of typefaces in electronic publishing: many of the new typographers receive their knowledge and information about the rules of typography from books, from computer magazines or the instruction manuals which they get with the purchase of a PC or software. \StopFrame \stoptext No go. Same error. Then I downloaded the latest beta from www.pragma-ade.com, installed, refreshed. All the usual things you do. I checked to see if I had duplicated copies of metafun.mem on my system (no) and I checked to see if the format files were actually getting updated (they were---I checked timestamps) and in the correct place (again yes, though I had to manually move metafun.mem and refresh the filename database). Still the same error.
unknown picture p textext.rt ! Equation cannot be performed (unknown picture=numeric). <to be read again> ( l.211 p:=textext.rt( "\hbox spread 1em {\hss \strut Zapf (1)\hss }"); ?
Help.
