Problem with metapost textbackgrounds on Windows
Hello all, In the example below, I mean for a gray box with rounded corners to be placed behind \startC ... \stopC blocks. This example compiles properly on Linux with the latest ConTeXt beta and LuaTeX synced from the minimals just minutes ago. On Windows, also updated from minimals this morning, I get the following error and no text background: mplib : initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun' mplib : loading 'metafun.mp' from 'C:/context/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-c ache/context/2fea56f92e5267d7cc9662e4d5f52e1e/formats/cont-en-metafun.mem' !

I'll try to make sure what LuaTeX version is used on Windows. At the time of synchronisation there was no luatex snapshot yet and it the meantime server name has been changed. (Nobody has complained so far, so I almost forgot about it.) Mojca
Thanks, Mojca. Also, a further bit of investigation on Windows shows that building the example (saved in foo.tex) with "context foo.tex" or "texexec --lua foo.tex" produces the results I reported. But, building without lua using "texexec foo.tex" gives a different error but does produce the expected gray background behind the \startC ... \stopC block. Here is the error when building with "texexec foo.tex": !

There seems to be a typo in anch-pgr.mkII which prevents textbackgrounds from working:
line 654 '\enableparposition' should probably read '\enableparpositions'.
If you copy the following lines into your environment it should work:
\def\initializeparbackgrounds
{\ifcase\totalnofparbackgrounds\else
\enableparpositions
\fi}

ok, i'll fix this; it means that we'll have a new current later (as it's needed for tex live) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
