Hi Hans

I am placing metapost figures in the text:

	\placefigure{}{\startMPgraphic
		......
		label.top(textext("\tfx \#3"),z0)
	\stopMPgraphic\loadcurrentMPgraphic{}\placeMPgraphic}

The \# macro disappears and nothing shows up in my figure.
The same with other characters as  \lbrace\rbrace.
How come? Do I misunderstand something?
It would be a pity if some characters could not be typeset in figures.
Thanks for looking into it.

Hans van der Meer
