Problem with labels

Problem with labels

[Haseloff, Lutz]

Hi all,

I set my mp labels with context, but something goes wrong when i use
umlauts (there is no space between the words), with \sz the space gets
negative(!)

what goes wrong?

my testfile:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupbodyfont[pos,ber,ss,10pt]
\startMPenvironment
\setupbodyfont[pos,ber,ss,10pt]
\useencoding[win]
\stopMPenvironment
\startuniqueMPgraphic{test1}
label(btex \strut gemäß Mitarbeiterstammblatt etex (0,0));
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\startuniqueMPgraphic{test2}
label(btex \strut gemä\sz Mitarbeiterstammblatt etex (0,0));
\stopuniqueMPgraphic
\useencoding[win]
\starttext
gemäß Mitarbeiterstammblatt
\blank[big]
\uniqueMPgraphic{test1}
\blank[big]
\uniqueMPgraphic{test2}
\stoptext

Greetings

Lutz

Do you run the latest (beta) context? A few weeks ago i made a fix for
spaces in mp text (this is due to the fact that in the ps output a space is
a valid char, but tex does not have one, so I had to mimick something.
After a \csname of more that 1 char (like \sz) you really need to add a \,
so \sz\ since tex sees the space as a terminater, and there is no way to
recover it.

Hi Hans, Hi all,

I got new  fontfiles from CTAN (tfm,vf,map).
No better result. Only the space after ß is affected and
only wit some Fonts: Helvetica, Helvetica-Narrow, Palatino and Times-Roman.
No such effect with cmr or lbr
With aer the space is even greater in mp than in ConTeXt.

What more can i do?

I attach my typical output.

first row context second mp label
cmr, aer, phv, ptm, lbs
