Hello,

though this is only partly a context question, I think this is the best place to ask. I am creating MetaPost figures containing text. When these are included in a TeX document processed by pdfLaTeX, context's supp-pdf.tex is loaded to perform the conversion.

Consider the simple MP file (the space is essential) -------------------------------------- defaultfont:="ptmr8r"; beginfig(1); label(" 11", origin); endfig; --------------------------------------

This will result in a file like %%Page: 1 1 -6.25003 -3.38997 moveto ( 11) ptmr8r 10.00005 fshow showpage %%EOF

If this MP file is included in a context document, everything is fine. -------------------------------------- \starttext \placefigure[][]{}{\externalfigure[minimal.mps]} \stoptext --------------------------------------

If it is included in a LaTeX document -------------------------------------- \documentclass{article} \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} \begin{document} \includegraphics{minimal.mps} \end{document} -------------------------------------- converted to ps with dvips, still everything is fine.

When using -------------------------------------- \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx} -------------------------------------- and pdfLaTeX to compile the file (this is when supp-pdf.tex is used), the " 11" disappears.

I found this problem with every number from 11, 22, to 99 with a leading space -- even in the middle of a string: "Text: 118" would come out as "Text: 8".

I don't have any clue what's going wrong. Any ideas?

PS: Hans was so kind to provide a new supp-pdf.tex after a similar problem with labels startimg with an umlaut?

file=supp-pdf.tex version=2001.07.27 file=supp-mis.tex version=1997.01.04 are used.
