Hi, This small piece of code gives me a wrong result: \startuseMPgraphic{teste} z7 = (5cm,0); label.lrt("Pontão",z7); \stopuseMPgraphic I just have to change 'btex Pont\~ao etex' for 'Pontão' and everything goes fine. Best, Maurício

Metapost can only handle very basic strings. Don't use Metapost for writing text.

label(\sometxt{Pontão},z7);
Indeed. Using \sometxt{...} is strongly recommended. btex ... etex behaves strange and consumes a considerable amount of extra time to compile your document. Mojca

Interesting. I also wasn't aware that btex ... etex could not handle string variables, as I learned from your documentation (I've just started learning metapost). Thanks, Maurício
