Confirmed, that fixes the problem.
One more problem I have with %& directives, as in this example:
verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
etex
beginfig(1);
label(btex x etex,cm*(1,1));
endfig;
verbatimtex
\end{document}
\end
etex
end.
It seems that '-tex latex' is mandatory in this case (%&latex is
ignored). Is it by design? If so, I would like to point out that it may
break code like the following:
input TEX;
TEXPRE("%&cont-en" & char(10) & "\starttext\setupbodyfont[8pt]");
TEXPOST("\stoptext");
verbatimtex
%&latex
\documentclass{minimal}
\begin{document}
etex
beginfig(1);
label(TEX("\type{This is} \ConTeXt"), (1cm,5mm));
draw btex \emph{And this is \LaTeX} etex;
endfig;
end.
I know that this is borderline, but it compiles with mpost 1.2xx.
