Hallo ConTeXt list member, I am new member in the list so apologize if I ask for something trivial. But I have been looking in documentation, in ConTeXt source code, in the Net... Unsuccessfully. Perhaps someone here will known. I have this simple file zk.tex: %--------------------- \starttext Hallo. \startuseMPgraphic{zk} picture p; p:= btex Text1 etex; % p:= textext("Text2"); % label(btex Text3 etex, origin); draw p; draw origin--(1cm,1cm); \stopuseMPgraphic \useMPgraphic{zk} \stoptext %---------------------- When I run texexec zk the compilation pass successfuly but the result is without line and "Text1". In the case of "Text2" I obtain line and "unknown" (picture) text and in the case of "Text3" the same as in "Text1". The log file from my recent context distribution on Linux web2c is in the attachment. The file mpgraph.mpx is created with correct content (Text1). But next run of metapost does not include it. The only way how to obtain desired result is to run mpost directly mpost mpgraph.mp But it is not possible with the "textext". The instalation is standard. Only I set \setupoutput[pdftex] \usesymbols[nav] \setupsymbolset[navigation 1] \recycleMPslotstrue \runMPgraphicstrue \runMPTEXgraphicstrue \useMETAFUNformattrue in cont-sys.tex So, what I am doing worse?
