Just for (meta)fun, I tried a few experiments with transparent colors. The example below gives a black circle instead of a red one. Is it that transparent colors aren't part of metafun -- which I can easily live with since color printing is too expensive still, alas -- or have I omitted an

Wolfgang, Thanks for the pointer. I don't have a cont-sys.tex, but cont-sys.rme has these lines % \runMPgraphicstrue % \runMPTEXgraphicstrue The .rme extension meant I'd missed it when I ran grep on the .tex files. I'll uncomment them. Oh, that's not a good idea, because the next context

Maybe you also need \runMPTEXgraphicstrue (enabled in my cont-sys.tex)? I just enabled that in cont-sys.rme, and I put it in the test file for good measure. your example works here (beta 17.09.). I also tried your example at contextgarden (same beta) and it worked too (using Firefox).

Hi, This all sounds like the 'missing specials' problem that is caused by conflicting -progname= arguments when using the web2c version of metapost. Make sure you do not have conflicting memory settings for both main_memory.mpost as well as main_memory.metafun The best is to remove all
