Indeed, I completely updated Miktex, downloaded the latest Context, refreshed filename database, then ran: texexec --make --alone This rebuilds cont-en.efmt, cont-nl.efmt, and mptopdf.efmt. You can see they are new by their timestamps (08/07/2003 09:38 AM).

All databases are refreshed after this move. There are no other versions of these format files on my system (I checked). I've even tried texexec --make --alone --tex=pdfetex metafun and moved the resulting metafun.mem file over and refreshed the database. On this file: input mp-tool; beginfig(1); picture p; p:=textext.rt("Hello, world!"); endfig; end. I still get this error: C:\temp>mpost junk (junk.mp (C:\texmf\metapost\context\base\mp-tool.mp) >> unknown picture p >> textext.rt ! Equation cannot be performed (unknown picture=numeric). ( l.7 p:=textext.rt( "Hello, world!"); ? I am aware of the new placement of /metapost/context/base. C:\texmf\metapost>dir Volume in drive C has no label.
