Re: followup metapost textext?

[Hans van der Meer <hansm@science.uva.nl>]

Sorry, my last posting ran into another, earlier thread. In order to  
prevent confusion I take the liberty to repeat my findings on the  
code below as reply to Hans Hagen's last posting.

When I take the mpgraph mp-input for metapost produced by the ConTeXt  
run I see:

(1) running "system(mpost  -progname=mpost -mem=metafun standalone2- 
mpgraph)...executed." as the log shows gives the wrong metafont  
output. I also ran mpost with those parameters standalone on that mp- 
file and got the same bad result.

(2) running texexec --mptex on the file gives the correct result.

Would this help locating the problem?
My mpost is according to mpout.log "This is MetaPost, Version 0.901  
(Web2C 7.5.3) (mem=mpost 2005.11.12)".

yours sincerely,
dr. H. van der Meer
