Context, Metapost \sometxt and color

Context, Metapost \sometxt and color

[Wim Neimeijer]

Hi

The following used to work, the text came out in the color red, now it 
is shown in black.
Am I doing something wrong here ? Or should I use something else instead ?
Any help appreciated

% example code
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\startMPcode
    picture p;
    p := \sometxt{$R_{\mu \nu } - \frac{1}{2} R - \Lambda g_{\mu \nu} = 
\kappa T_{\mu \nu}$} ;
    p := p scaled 3;
    draw p withcolor red;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

Add
    \chardef\TeXtextcolormode\zerocount
to your document or cont-usr.tex.

(an alternative is to use \sometxt{\color[red]{something}})

Or even better: vote for it to become the default value before "color
stacks" are implemented (at least that's what I understood).

Hans had to add a feature and fix a little bug in \sometxt on my
request, but I don't understand why "one" is the default value now
either.
