I just said that pstoedit workflow is not likely to work with OpenType
fonts, nothing else.
You can still use something like (copy-pasting Wolfgang's example
without testing):
textext("{\blue\tfd Fun\llap{\red\property[outer]{\tfd Fun}}}")
or you can use non-OpenType font in MKIV to access the exact path of text.
But I'm really impressed about Taco's answer :)

Once that is done, the new code can be ported to metapost. Don't hold your breath, it will likely take more than a year.

This is quite impressive! This will make it much easier for me to obtain the right dimensions… Now if only this worked with OpenType as well (or any other font format ConTeXt understands natively)… and it would be really great if direct access to outlines extended to arbitrary typeset material beyond single glyphs.

Yes, but this only works for Type1 fonts, not for OpenType. The example below is a literal copy from metapost manual (created by Taco). You first search in the source for that glyph: \definemathsymbol [bigotimes] [op] [ex] ["4E] % this equals 78 in decimal notation and then you need either name or number of glyph + name of font. fontmapfile "=lm-math.map"; beginfig(1); picture q; path p; interim ahlength := 12bp; interim ahangle := 25; q := glyph 78 of "lmex10" scaled .2; % q := glyph "circlemultiplytext" of "lmex10" scaled .2; % cheat by looking at lm-mathex.enc for item within q: p := pathpart item; drawarrow p withcolor (.6,.9,.6) withpen pencircle scaled 1.5; for j=0 upto length p: pickup pencircle scaled .7; draw (point j of p -- precontrol j of p) dashed evenly withcolor blue; draw (point j of p -- postcontrol j of p) dashed evenly withcolor blue; pickup pencircle scaled 3; draw precontrol j of p withcolor red; draw postcontrol j of p withcolor red; pickup pencircle scaled 2; draw point j of p withcolor black; endfor endfor endfig; end.
