Hi again, I tried my example from yesterday in context with metapost format, but the output still differs from what mptopdf produces.
While doing that, I noticed that the mpost format is currently not usable out of the box: \startMPcode{metapost} draw (0,0) -- (1cm,0) ; \stopMPcode produces the error message >> mfun_first_run >> true ! Equation cannot be performed (numeric=boolean). and the same for 'mfun_trial_run'. Simply adding boolean mfun_trial_run, mfun_first_run ; to texmf/metapost/base/mpost.mp resolved the issue for me. However, that may introduce other complications that I have no idea of.
