Re: metapost-pdf problem

[Peter Rolf <indiego@gmx.net>]

Hi,

same trouble here. The problem is the current definition of

\forcecolorhack (colo-ini.mkiv).

But we are lucky, as Hans has kept the old version as comment. For the 
moment just add a comment sign in front of the new definition and 
deactivate the old version. Nothing I can fix (no clue what this does 
and no time at all).

Best wishes,  Peter
