Hi,
now I also started to use metapost, I have some questions:
How can I switch to sans serif fonts, using:
\startuseMPgraphic{foo}
defaultfont:="cmss10";
verbatimtex \input amssym.tex etex
doesn't have the desired effect.
Ok, now it works using:
export TEX=texexec --once
verbatimtex \setupbodyfont[ams,ss] etex
but isn't there a better (portable) methode of this.
(I have write18 enabled, but I think I need an extra switch,
which one?)
And which command types directly a MP graphic,
presently I use
\def\bar#1#2#3#4#5#6#7{%
\startuseMPgraphic{foo}
\stopuseMPgraphic
\useMPgraphic{foo}}
but this doesn't seem to be the best methode.
Tobias

What do you mean with portable? I also use this. Probably because
defaultfont didn't work for me too (maybe it works only with some standard
tex fonts).
Groetjes,

It makes sense to add the next lines to your texmf.cnf file:
MPXCOMMAND = makempx
TEX = texexec --batch --once

Already answered by berend.

It makes sense to take a look in supp-mps.tex, since all these commands
come from there; there is also \startMPgraphic ... \stopMPgraphic, and soon
a few more.
