The text is now display in the shape, yet there is no drawing preformed! The draw of the path is no preformed. It is even worst. Metapost seems to be doing no drawing at all, even in over overlays! The all are related to a similar error : metapost > initializing number mode 'scaled' metapost > output file 'mpout.log', mode 'w', ftype 'log' metapost > output file 'test2-mpgraph.mpd', mode 'w', ftype 0 metapost > output file 'test2-mpgraph.mpd', mode 'w', ftype 0 metapost > error: (/Users/quayjay/context/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/mp-text.mpiv) >> PageFraction >> false !

I had deleted the standalone version and reinstalled with: sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all --engine=luatex I have running a MacBook Pro 17" with OSX 10.8.3 I will also attach the result(test2.pdf) and the result from TexLive 2012(expected.pdf). regards Keith.
