Thanks, that works. I guess -Ppdf tells it to use map files that find the type1 fonts, so cmr in the metapost figures is replaced by the lmodern .pfb. Oh, that's not what happens: it instead finds the cmr10.pfb and includes it correctly. So the final document uses lmodern for the page number (from the ConTeXt src file) and cmr10 for the 'hello' from the metapost figure. Though I'm a bit scared of -Ppdf from years ago when I think it caused encoding problems. A few characters didn't show up correctly in the pdf file, but only when using non-cmr fonts. -Sanjoy `Not all those who wander are lost.' (J.R.R.
