Hello context gurus, while learning about page design, I used Hans Hagen's sample file named "Simple Cover Page" from the wiki as a starting point. But it does not work. The overlay will not show up. The text itself is typeset properly. What I found out: Source: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Simple_Cover_Page saved as "test.tex". Procedure: 1 using TeX Live 2009 texexec --xtx test.tex No overlay, text ok 2 using TeX Live 2009 texexec --pdf test.tex No overlay, text ok 3 using online engine on live.contextgarden.net (pdfTeX) No overlay, text ok 4 using online engine on live.contextgarden.net (XeTeX) No overlay, text ok 5 using ConTeXt minimals context test.tex All working just fine System: ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala) amd64, TeX Live 2009 without any modifications The only successful procedure was (5) with the most current ConTeXt-minimals distribution and therefore using the Mk IV version. Is the file not suitable for Mk II? Is something wrong with Mk II in TeX Live 2009? What am I doing wrong here? Best regards, Michael Ewe, Germany

To run metapost you either need to enable \write18 (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/write18) or add \runMPgraphicsfalse on the top of your file. Aditya
Great, enabling \write18 as described on the wiki page solves the problem, Thanks!
