Hi,

in documentations I can find various examples of circled text. But
copying them I had no success till now.

I want to place text in half circles of various radiuses. Is there
anywhere a simple example?

The Metafun experts would probably tear this apart...
\startuniqueMPgraphic{half circle}
   path p, q ;
   p := fullcircle scaled OverlayWidth;
   q := (p cutafter (point .5 along p)) shifted (0,-.5BodyFontSize) ;
   fill q -- cycle withcolor lightgray ;
   draw q withpen pencircle scaled 2pt withcolor darkred ;
   setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox p ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[half circle][\uniqueMPgraphic{half circle}]

\starttext

\framed[background=half circle,frame=off]{Text width half circle.}

\stoptext

Well, if you really want a tear down ...

\startuniqueMPgraphic{half circle}
path p ; p := halfcircle scaled OverlayWidth shifted center OverlayBox ;
    path q ; q := p shifted (0,-StrutDepth)  ;
    draw image (
        fill q -- cycle withcolor OverlayColor ;
        draw q          withcolor OverlayLineColor ;
    ) withpen pencircle scaled 2pt ;
    setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox OverlayBox ;
\stopuniqueMPgraphic

\defineoverlay[half circle][\uniqueMPgraphic{half circle}]

\starttext

\framed
  [background=half circle,
   frame=off,
   framecolor=red,
   backgroundcolor=lightgray]
  {Text width half circle.}

\framed
  [background=half circle,
   frame=off,
   framecolor=red,
   backgroundcolor=lightgray]
  {Text width half circle and more.}

\stoptext



My greatest problems seem to be in the embedding code.
