[NTG-context] math font
Instead of the mathfont'a italics I would like to try an upright typeface. See
for example the P.p on the left of the sample, 1-p in the second \pmatrix and
the toprow in the last one.
How can I do this globally, there by avoiding avoiding the need to sprinkle
\mathrm's all around as in: \pmatrix{\mathrm p\cr\mathrm 1-p\cr}. A single
\mathrm in front as not enough for the matrices.

I don't think that there is a global interface. You can try
\appendtoks \mathrm \to \everysetupmathematics.
In principle, we can have an interface similar to
\setupmathematics[lcgreek=...,ucgreek=...], but the choice of keys
requires some thought.

That is because \pmatrix uses \halign, where each cell starts a new math
gruop. This reminds me of an old request to have support for \mhalign and
\mvalign at the engine level.

[NTG-context] MPpage-MPcode
Can someone give me a short explanation of the difference between the various metapost enclosures in MetaFun? such as \startMPpage-\stopMPpage, \startMPcode-\stopMPcode? I am on the lookout for a setup in which textext can be used and where the figure comes out clipped, i.e. not contained in a full page with lots of surrounding whitespace. Note without textext doing framed's etc. there is no problem. The problem arises when the pageheight and pagewidth come into play.

You can also use \framed[width=2.73in,

Re: [NTG-context] Why does the oldstyle numerals switch, \os, also switch off m-dashes?
Just for the sake of completeness, in case someone else stumbles upon this
thread, it should be noted that \definefontfeature needs to be set before
\setupbodyfont, i.e.,
\definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes]
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][onum=yes]
\setupbodyfont[schola,11pt]
rather than:
\setupbodyfont[schola,11pt]
\definefontfeature[default][default][onum=yes]
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][onum=yes]
I made the mistake of using the latter form in one of my tests and was
left wondering why things weren't working.
Regards.

In a manuscript length project, I wouldn't want to get {\os } for each local
instance. Now, what I have noticed was that the small caps switch, \sc, seems
to disable old-style numerals. Is this a typographic convention, i.e., that in
a run of small caps one should not revert to old-style numerals? Is there a
way of avoiding this assumption for a larger project? I sometimes have text
set in small caps that as part of a project ID would have some numbers in it.
In that case, I would like the old-style numerals to be used.
No, the answer is that smallcaps are activated with the “smcp” feature and this
is applied to the regular style with the “smallcaps” set. To get now old style
figures when you use smallcaps letters you need also this setup:
\definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][onum=yes]

Thanks for the response. I tried running with --batch and it made no
difference to the outcome. The mtxrun process still got jammed up in
exactly the same manner.
Regressing to the ubuntu 'lucid' packages resolved the problem for me,
so whatever is wrong has gone wrong somewhere in the combination of
packages in ubuntu 'natty'.
I did eventually get to the bottom of this. Turns out that mtxrun was
failing to find a writable cache path (from mtxrun line 9269).
To find a cache path, mtxrun searches through the environment variables
TEXMFCACHE, TMPDIR, TEMPDIR, TMP, TEMP, HOME, HOMEPATH.
The apache worker process had no such environment variables, so mtxrun
failed. Once I added the following line to my PHP script, everything
started working just fine:
putenv('TEMPDIR=/tmp');
