texexec --mptex text?

I did some small examples, motivated by the article of Wesseling in  
NTG's "Voorjaar 2005" MAPS.
Latest context and fonts installed (2005-12-19).
I do not understand the results.

(call) texexec --mptex test-1.mp:

beginfig(1);
	draw (0,0)--(100,0)--(100,50)--(50,50)--(50,100)--(0,100)--(0,0);
	label.urt(btex \ss\tfxx coorner etex rotated 45, (50,50)) withcolor  
blue;
endfig;
end.

Why are the o's colliding?

font shown to be Courier Truetype (Macintosh OSX).

And why is the fount Courier instead of the expected ComputerModern  
SansSerif?

Contents of test.mpx is:

File tmpgraph.bck has:

\long\def\mpxshipout#1{\shipout\hbox{%
   \setbox0=\hbox{#1}%
   \dimen0=\ht0 \advance\dimen0\dp0
   \dimen1=\ht0 \dimen2=\dp0  \ht0=0pt \dp0=0pt \box0

   \else \vrule width1sp height1sp depth0sp\relax
   \fi}}
\mpxshipout{% line 3 test.mp
\ss coorner}
\end{document}
\end{document}


File tmpgraph.log shows context loading ec fonts (why not lm now)?

you mean ec-lm* ec is the encoding, lm the font

i'm puzzled by the courier (normally the acrobat fallback)

I assume your previewer doesn't know how to display ec-lmss12, so it
uses the font it has rigged as a last resort: Courier.

Try running mptopdf on test-1.1 before starting the previewer.

As Hans said, the "ec-" part is the 'ec' (aka 'cork' aka 'T1') encoding.

Cheers, Taco

Solves this problem. I was using Apples Preview application (Mac  
OSX), which clearly fails here. LMRoman now shows up in Adobe Reader  
and o's behave as they should.
