Do I understand correct that this is meant to generally replace \textext from inside metapost figures? Is the following change correct, for example: % prevent wobbling of text boxes with uneven depth pic := textext("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); into: pic := sometxt("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); Are there restrictions? When to use \sometxt and when is there need for \textext? Hans van der Meer
