Hi All, Hans,

I want to use  build_parshape and shapetext with the latest standalone
ConTeXt  ver: 2013.05.12 22:16 MKIV beta  fmt: 2013.5.13  int: english/english

with the Example below I get a small box with the top part of a T in it.

Interresting enough the example works with the TexLive 2012 version!

Running with latest standalone the following files are created: 
-rw-r--r--  1 staff  14410 14 Mai 13:59 test2.log
-rw-r--r--  1 staff   5132 14 Mai 13:59 test2.pdf
-rw-r--r--  1 staff    634 14 Mai 13:59 test2.synctex.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 staff    899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex
-rw-r--r--  1 staff   8413 14 Mai 13:59 test2.tuc

Using MkIV from TeXLive 2012 the following files are created:
-rw-r--r--  1 staff    561 14 Mai 14:09 test2-mpgraph.mpd
-rw-r--r--  1 staff  19404 14 Mai 14:09 test2.log
-rw-r--r--  1 staff   9638 14 Mai 14:09 test2.pdf
-rw-r--r--  1 staff   3237 14 Mai 14:09 test2.synctex.gz
-rw-r--r--@ 1 staff    899 14 Mai 13:37 test2.tex
-rw-r--r--  1 staff   6079 14 Mai 14:09 test2.tuc

And all is well!

Goofy as I am I tried the standalone again, this works only
partially because the text is not aligned properly.
How can it be the file test2-mograph.mpd was used from the TexLive 2012
version!

So something is astray! I do know that we are using a newer Metapost, but
I assume the problem is the library or how the temporary files are generated
or used.

Any help would be nice.

regards
	Keith.
