Metafun: dotlabel issue in latest LMTX

Metafun: dotlabel issue in latest LMTX

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hans,

The following (due to you and Aditya, discussed a few days ago) used to work with LMTX until version 2020-12-10, but it does not work anymore with LMTX version 2020-12-24 17:30. I wonder whether this is due to some changes you have made recently.

%% begin squaredot-test.tex
\startMPdefinitions
	newpath mydotlabelshape ;
	mydotlabelshape := fullcircle ;
	mydotlabeldiam := 12 pt ;

	vardef mydotlabel@#(expr s,z) text t_ =
		label@#(s,z) t_ ;
		fill (mydotlabelshape scaled 2mydotlabeldiam) shifted z t_;
	enddef ;
\stopMPdefinitions

\starttext
\startMPcode
newpath p ; 
p := (2cm, 3cm) -- (3cm, 5cm);

mydotlabeldiam := 15pt;
mydotlabelshape := fullsquare ;

draw p ;

mydotlabel(textext("\switchtobodyfont[8pt]" & "A"), point 0 of p) 
	withcolor transparent("exclusion",.5,red) ;
mydotlabel(textext("\switchtobodyfont[8pt]" & "B"), point 1 of p) 
	withcolor transparent("exclusion",.5,red) ;

\stopMPcode
\stoptext
%% end squaredot-test.tex

I get an error message, which is obscure to me, saying:

%-- begin error message excerpt

error message, so I guess I'll just ignore it and carry on.
