FYI, with recent betas (2014.05.17 from a context standalone or
2014.05.21 from Debian TL2014), I still find the problem with the
internal mptopdf converter dropping glyphs. I work around it in the
Makefile (convert using mptopdf externally). However, in case it is
worth tracking down, here is the original report with the minimal
example.
==================
The internal mptopdf converter in MkIV omits some glyphs in the labels.
Here's a minimal example (test.tex):
\starttext
\externalfigure[testfig.1][frame=on]
\blank
\externalfigure[testfig-1.pdf][frame=on]
\stoptext
And testfig.1 is produced by testfig.mp
beginfig(1)
label(btex $\Omega$ etex, (0,0));
currentpicture := currentpicture scaled 5;
endfig;
end
Here's testfig.1 to save a step in debugging:
%!PS
%%BoundingBox: -18 -18 18 18
%%HiResBoundingBox: -17.98805 -17.0195 17.98798 17.0195
%%Creator: MetaPost 1.803

0 0 0 setrgbcolor
-17.98805 -17.0195 moveto
(\012) cmr10 49.81323 fshow
showpage
%%EOF
Then do:
mptopdf testfig.1
context test.tex
xpdf test.pdf
The first framed box, using the internal mps->pdf conversion, is empty.
The second framed go, using the pdf file produced by mptopdf, correctly
contains \Omega.
