I have another piece of information on my previous posting.
When I take the mpgraph mp-input for metapost produced by the ConTeXt
run I see:
(1) running "system(mpost -progname=mpost -mem=metafun standalone2-
mpgraph)...executed." as the log shows gives the wrong metafont
output. I also ran mpost with those parameters standalone on that mp-
file and got the same bad result.
(2) running texexec --mptex on the file gives the correct result.
Would this help locating the problem?
My mpost is according to mpout.log "This is MetaPost, Version 0.901
(Web2C 7.5.3) (mem=mpost 2005.11.12)".
yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer

Panic using metapost in context.
This used to work. I did a file that previously
(\thisisutilityversion
{1998.12.20}) had good output but now has "unknown" everywhere
for textext calls!
\starttext
\startuseMPgraphic{one}
draw (0,0)--(100,0)--(100,50)--(50,50)--(50,100)--(0,100)--
(0,0);
label (textext("label"), (10,25));
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{one}
\stoptext
But now I see "unknown" as the text typeset instead of "label"!
What happened. This is disastrous.
this normally points to an error in mp processing (unknown is the
fall
back text), not so much to something wrong with context (i hope)
it runs ok here; how does it runs at other machines?
no problem here (using latest version)
Runs without problems here as well. The most likely cause of problems
in this subsystem nowadays is a
"format was written by (pdf)(e)tex"
error message from a (pdf)(e)tex executable. Unfortunately, I also
find it hard to trace this stuff. It may help to run the example
in an isolated directory and zip&mail everything in the directory
afterwards. I can at least have a look, but cannot give guarantees.
