Yep, works!

What's the correct way of piping this to MetaFun? Putting

DefaultRuleThickness := \defaultrulethickness;

into each "\startuseMPgraphic{}" block works, but how can I define  
this globally? Moving it into "\startMPinclusions" creates a scope  
problem … see also the other thread about BodyFontSize etc.

Thanks for your help,
Oliver
