Hi,
>From the October 8, 2010 context mkiv MetaFun manual (section 8.6),
the following example does not produce any output beyond the caption:
\startuseMPgraphic{quotation}
picture one ;
one := image(
graphictext \MPstring{inputtext}
scaled 1.5
withdrawcolor .625blue
withfillcolor .625white
withpen pencircle scaled 1pt;
);
picture two ;
two := image(
graphictext \MPstring{author}
scaled 2
withdrawcolor .625red
withfillcolor .625white
withpen pencircle scaled 2pt ;
) ;
currentpicture := one ;
addto currentpicture also two
shifted lrcorner one
shifted - 1.125 lrcorner two
shifted (0, - 1.250 * ypart urcorner two) ;
setbounds currentpicture to boundingbox currentpicture enlarged 3pt ;
\stopuseMPgraphic
\starttext
\setMPtext{inputtext} {\vbox{\hsize 8.5cm \input zapf }}
\setMPtext{author}{\hbox{\sl Hermann Zapf}}
\placefigure{A text does not need to be an outline in order to be
typeset in an outline font.}
{\useMPgraphic{quotation}}
\stoptext
Expected Results
Outlined text, as presented in section 8.6.
Actual Results
Mostly blank page. (Note, I changed "text" to "inputtext" to make sure
I wasn't using a keyword. The manual uses "text".)
Environment
$ context --version
