But my guess is that the argument goes into the opposite way. I
past (and still in MKII) one *had to* set up fonts twice - once
for the main document and once for MetaPost since MetaPost did
its own processing of labels and MetaPost didn't see the ConTeXt
font setups. So it was "difficult" to convince MetaPost to use
the same font.
I agree, it's a big step forward towards usability and consistency
to have MetaPost automatically inherit ConTeXts settings. However,
it went out-of-control now.
well, you still get text and not something random, so out-of-control is
a bit too strong
anyhow, we can do
\newconditional\MPLIBtextgetdone
\def\MPLIBsettext#1% #2%
{\ifconditional\MPLIBtextgetdone
\else
\cldcontext{metapost.tex.get()}%
\settrue\MPLIBtextgetdone % no \global needed
\fi
\dowithnextbox{\ctxlua{metapost.settext(\number\nextbox,#1)}}\hbox}
\def\MPLIBresettexts
{\ctxlua{metapost.resettextexts()}%$
\setfalse\MPLIBtextgetdone}
\starttext
Serif
\startMPcode
draw textext("\ss Sans") ;
\stopMPcode
Serif
\startMPenvironment
\ss
\stopMPenvironment
\startMPcode
draw textext("Sans") ;
\stopMPcode
Serif
\stoptext
A better alternative would to define
\setupMPtext
[
style=...,
color=...,
setups=...,
]
that can be used to set the style for metapost text.
this is ok for me, but then we mighe as well drop \startMPenviroment
(and someone has to wikify that then)
