Subject: Wrong MetaPost text output
Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2019 09:09:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f91fa2a9-61e3-d6dc-695e-1a6f2128c6df@gmail.com> (raw)
Dear devs,
There seems to be a bug in the MetaPost integration of ConTeXt. The MWE
below should produce three different labels “dummy foo bar” but instead
produces “bar bar bar”. The same example works correctly in plain
MetaPost. Originally reported on
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/503773/strange-behaviour-of-the-btex-etex-construct
Cheers, Henri
