 Thanks for the prompt reply!

 I have tried to add background=color as an option, but the result is
 exactly the same;
 only the text gets colored; no frame and no background color appear.

 Do you have other ideas?

Is metapost or MPtoPDF called, take a in your terminal, dou you have
the metafun format and do you use MkII (texexec ...) or MkIV (context ...).

 Thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction!

 I was using the texexec utility. When I tried the same with the context
 version, it rebuilt some formats and it now works exactly as expected.

 Sorry for being a novice here; is it so that the texexec utility should
 be consiered as obsolete?

But MkII should work too. Try texexec --make metafun --alone and now
texexec myfile.

Thanks - this also now works! The context utility built the format
automatically while I had to run the command manually with texexec
(So context seems to be smarter than texexec).

My installation is the complete windows environment of context. I ran
the fist_setup.bat batch file after installation; this built many  
formats.
I don't know why the metafun format wasn't built - perhaps something
is missing from the setup file?

In any case - thanks a lot for the good advice.

Best regards,
Tommy Jensen

 The background of the rendered text is always white, independent of the
 backgroundcolor parameter. The font color is however OK (blue).
 All other samples I have tried from details.pdf
 behaves similarly - no background color and no frame/frame color.
