In my cont-sys.tex I had \runMPgraphicstrue %\runMPTEXgraphicstrue Trying everything seemingly connected to metapost I tried diverse combinations with these macros either commented-out or not-commented- out. At one moment texexec started functioning. I was thinking both these macros were for efficiency only, or is that a wrong thought? Because the comment in cont-sys.tex after these lines says "% This saves some runtime,...". But the \runMPTEXgraphicstrue seems crucial. Would you please answer the next questions too: (1) Although my outer font is Lucida, these are used in textext (normal) but not used in textext($math$) where lm- en cm-math fonts are used; these mixed fonts make the pictures ugly. (2) I would like to have standalone pictures, as produced by "texexec --mptex" but then I do not know how to set the fonts. Is there a simple way to export the pictures from a ConTeXt run with embedded MP- graphics? Or keep intermediate pdf's? yours sincerely, dr.
