Hi, I wanted to start a proof with "Proof:" in italics and place a figure next to the right margin. There are many ways to accomplish this, but my normal way, {\it Proof:\/}, fails. Is this a bug or am I making a mistake? \starttext \startuseMPgraphic{ProofPQR} numeric u; u:=2.5cm; draw ((0, 0)--(1,0)--(1, 0.7)) scaled u withpen pencircle; dotlabel.bot(textext("$P$"),(0,0)*u); dotlabel.bot(textext("$R$"),(1,0)*u); dotlabel.rt(textext("$Q$"),(1,0.7)*u); \stopuseMPgraphic % MISPLACED \placefigure[right,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{ProofPQR}} {\it Proof:\/} \input knuth \hairline % WORKS \placefigure[right,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{ProofPQR}} %{\it Proof:\/} \input knuth \hairline % WORKS \placefigure[right,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{ProofPQR}} \strut{\it Proof:\/} \input knuth \stoptext Thanks, Michael ________________________________ This e-mail message (including any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

That’s a common problem when you use a font switch at the begin of a paragraph, you can avoid this when you force horizontal mode with \dontleavehmode or \strut before the begin of the group. You can avoid this also when you use \italic{…} etc. instead of {\it …} but the best solution in your example is to create a proof environment which prints “Proof: ” as title for the environment. \defineenumeration [proof] [text=Proof:, headstyle=italic, number=no, alternative=serried, width=fit, distance=.5em] \startuseMPgraphic{ProofPQR} numeric u; u:=2.5cm; draw ((0, 0)--(1,0)--(1, 0.7)) scaled u withpen pencircle; dotlabel.bot(textext("$P$"),(0,0)*u); dotlabel.bot(textext("$R$"),(1,0)*u); dotlabel.rt(textext("$Q$"),(1,0.7)*u); \stopuseMPgraphic \starttext \placefigure[right,none]{}{\useMPgraphic{ProofPQR}} \startproof \input knuth \stopproof \stoptext Wolfgang
