Hi all, I have had trouble with metapost lately; mptopdf seems broken. Here are two small test files: rent.mp: ........................ input metafun; numeric u; u=15mm; beginfig(1); drawarrow (0,0)..(8u,0); draw (3u,-.2u)..(3u,.5u); label.bot(btex 0 etex, (3.2u,0)); endfig; end ....................... rent.tex: ....................... \starttext \externalfigure[/home/jean/graph/rent.1] \stoptext ....................... I run metapost on the first file and (nearly) everything seems all right; rent.1 is created and I can visualize it. ThenI run in order mkiv, mkii, texexec --dvi, and mptopdf: ** mkiv output: ERROR: Leaders not followed by proper glue. --- TeX said --- <to be read again> \normalhskip \forcecolorhack ->\leaders \hrule \normalhskip \zeropoint \dohandleobject ...hss }\fi \fi }}\forcecolorhack \box \scratchbox \endgroup l.3 ...ox{\getobject{FIG}{/home/jean/graph/rent.1} } --- HELP --- No help available ** mkii output: name: dummy file: rent state: unknown ** texexec --dvi output: OK ** 07:23 jean@boldair /home/jean/graph % mptopdf rent MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : no filename matches rent My context system from minimals is updated from tomorrow night (mptopdf was slightly different but failed anyway before thet update) Sorry if the question was already discussed here! -- jean -- Jean
Hi, same trouble here. The problem is the current definition of \forcecolorhack (colo-ini.mkiv). But we are lucky, as Hans has kept the old version as comment. For the moment just add a comment sign in front of the new definition and deactivate the old version. Nothing I can fix (no clue what this does and no time at all). Best wishes, Peter Jean Magnan de Bornier schrieb:

Thanks Peter, If I do so, mkiv still fails on my file, but goes a little further: .................................. !

Have you remade the formats? Sorry, I have forgotten to add this to the prior post. context --make

| context --make Sorry me! I should obviously have done that. Yes it works now with mkiv, but I don't see how to do the same thing in mkii... Anyway thanks Peter, -- Jean

Well, texexec does the job all right, but texexec --xtx doesn't find the images. The only thing I see in the log of xetex is:
figures : dimensions of contr.1 loaded from figurefile itself floatblocks : no block given floatblocks : 1 placed
(three such for each figure)
I never used xetex, but there is a good chance that this is also a format update problem see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals#Remaking_formats for the details. Best wishes, Peter
