The following always worked for me: \starttext \startMPpage .. metapost code .. \stopMPpage \stoptext and delivered from a ConTeXt-run a separate pdf. dr. Hans van der Meer

Dear list,

When I process the short MetaFun example

beginfig(1) draw textext("MetaFun") ; endfig; end

with plain MetaFun, i.e.

mpost '&metafun' test.mp

the resulting file only contains “unknown”. How can I get the expected output? context foo.mp

(in mkii one could use mptopdf but i have no interest in figuring out some pure metapost solution when we can do the job with simple wrapping in mkiv as mentioned)

I tried

mpost '&metafun' test.mp mptopdf test.1

and now I have a PDF which says “unknown“. Maybe I didn't understand what you meant.

Cheers, Henri

what does $> mpost -mem=metafun '\relax; tracingall; input test.mp;' say ?

Log is attached.
