Could someone with an older version of Ghostscript please check if
pstoedit/Ghostscript hang with the attached example?  That would make it

input metafun
beginfig(1);
  graphictext "Outlined  text!" scaled 8
  withfillcolor .7blue;
endfig;
end

Name the file outline.mp and process with

>mpost outline
>perl makempy.pl outline

or what's a proper method to run a Perl script on your OS.  (With MiKTeX
you can just say "makempy outline".)
