I did encounter something strange with leftarrow in metapost math:

In normal text:
All three arrows appear with $l\leftarrow r\rightarrow lr\leftrightarrow$.

In metapost:
The leftarrow does not appear, the others do in:
\placefigure{}{\startMPgraphic
u = 180mm; v = 40mm;
label.bot(textext("$l\leftarrow r\rightarrow lr\leftrightarrow$"),(u/2,v));
\stopMPgraphic\loadcurrentMPgraphic{}\placeMPgraphic}

How is that possible and how can it be repaired?
in the ps file we get:

(l) cmmi12 11.95517 fshow
226.60309 102.08342 moveto
( ) cmsy10 11.95514 fshow
241.87918 102.08342 moveto
(r) cmmi12 11.95517 fshow

here, the space char is the arrow; the mp to pdf converter makes this into a special kind of space;

you may try:

\def\MPspacechar{\char32\relax}
