Hi Hans, hi all,

with the most recent ConTeXt
(This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.75.0-2013021110 (rev 4576)
ConTeXt  ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV  fmt: 2013.2.11  int: english/english)
there is an alignment problem with labels using textext.
Labels without textext work ok.

Small example showing the problem:

---------------------------------
\starttext
\startMPpage
pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ;
path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ;
draw p withcolor .625yellow ;
label.rt (textext("right") , point 0 of p) ;
label.top (textext("top") , point 2 of p) ;
label.lft (textext("left") , point 4 of p) ;
label.bot (textext("bottom") , point 6 of p) ;
\stopMPpage
\startMPpage
pickup pencircle scaled 1mm ;
path p ; p := fullcircle scaled 3cm ;
draw p withcolor .625yellow ;
label.rt ("right" , point 0 of p) ;
label.top ("top" , point 2 of p) ;
label.lft ("left" , point 4 of p) ;
label.bot ("bottom" , point 6 of p) ;
\stopMPpage
\stoptext

Greetings
