Hi Keith, following testfile perhaps describes my problem better: \starttext \startMPpage drawdot (origin); label.rt (textext("right") , origin) ; label.top (textext("top") , origin) ; label.lft (textext("left") , origin) ; label.bot (textext("bottom") , origin) ; \stopMPpage \stoptext If i run it by texexec(mkii), all is ok, with context(mkiv) the labels overlap. I try to add the problematic mkiv pdf. Greetings Lutz 2013/2/13 Keith J.
