\startMPenvironment : personal font weirdness
Greetings all, I've been experimenting with MetaPost/Fun of late. It is indeed fun. In trying to have a uniform font in both text and MP areas, however, I am running into some difficulty. With a little file like this: --- \setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop] \startMPenvironment [global] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \switchtobodyfont[palatino,12pt] \stopMPenvironment \starttext The following example should be very interesting: \blank \startuseMPgraphic{very-interesting} z40 = (2cm,0cm) ; z41 = (3cm,0cm) ; z42 = (3cm,1cm) ; z43 = (2cm,1cm) ; z46 = (2.5cm,.5cm) ; path F ; F := (z40--z41--z42--z43--cycle) ; linejoin := mitered ; drawpath F ; label("very", z46) ; \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{very-interesting} \stoptext --- everything works very nicely (fonts identical). When I use my own typescript file, however: --- \startMPenvironment [global] \usetypescriptfile[minionpro-diss] \usetypescript[Minion] \switchtobodyfont[Minion,12pt] \stopMPenvironment --- The text appears in the correct font, but the MP section, _while at first showing the correct font_, then changes to CM before my eyes. (my pdf viewer auto-updates). Any clues? Many thanks, David

---
\setupcolors[state=start] \setuppagenumbering[state=stop]
\startMPenvironment [global] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \switchtobodyfont[palatino,12pt] \stopMPenvironment
\starttext
The following example should be very interesting: \blank
\startuseMPgraphic{very-interesting}
z40 = (2cm,0cm) ; z41 = (3cm,0cm) ; z42 = (3cm,1cm) ; z43 = (2cm,1cm) ; z46 = (2.5cm,.5cm) ;
path F ; F := (z40--z41--z42--z43--cycle) ;
linejoin := mitered ;
drawpath F ; label("very", z46) ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{very-interesting}
\stoptext
---
everything works very nicely (fonts identical). When I use my own typescript file, however:
---
\startMPenvironment [global] \usetypescriptfile[minionpro-diss] \usetypescript[Minion] \switchtobodyfont[Minion,12pt] \stopMPenvironment
dangerous to use such a upper/lowercase mix (typos)

The text appears in the correct font, but the MP section, _while at first showing the correct font_, then changes to CM before my eyes. (my pdf viewer auto-updates).
hm, looks like a bronwser problem what happens if you only include the graphic, \startMPpage z40 = (2cm,0cm) ; z41 = (3cm,0cm) ; z42 = (3cm,1cm) ; z43 = (2cm,1cm) ; z46 = (2.5cm,.5cm) ; path F ; F := (z40--z41--z42--z43--cycle) ; linejoin := mitered ; drawpath F ; label("very", z46) ; \stopMPpage so, no other text Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I see what you mean.

path F ; F := (z40--z41--z42--z43--cycle) ;
linejoin := mitered ;
drawpath F ; label("very", z46) ; \stopMPpage
so, no other text
Same results, and I also checked with a different viewer. Points to my typescript file as a problem, does it? (Which works fine in non-MP ConTeXt).

what is the label font then? probably defaultfont so you need to set that as well also, label does not use tex, use label(\textext("very"),z46) and friends Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

That's it, indeed (though without the back-slash for textext): label(textext("very"),z46)
and friends

Many thanks! David

label(textext("very"),z46)
I would use label(\sometxt{very},z46); It works much better and you don't need to specify anything in the MPenvironment. The default document font will be used. Mojca To Hans: \textext is not documented anywhere yet. Would it make sense to make it a synonym for \sometxt perhaps?

Please don't. I have experienced a difference between textext and sometext, the former needed when metapost variables are combined. Hans van der Meer

usable in 90% of the cases (not in loops)
