Metapost font size

Metapost font size

[Sebastian Sturm]

Hi,

is it possible to change the font size of TeX labels in Metapost 
figures (using the textext command) to be the same as the bodyfont size 
in the surrounding document?

Best regards,

Sebastian Sturm

Hi Sebastian,

You can setup the font to be used in the Metapost-figure

\usetypescript[palatino][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,8pt]

\startMPenvironment
   \usetypescript[palatino][texnansi]
   \setupbodyfont[palatino,rm,8pt]
\stopMPenvironment

kind regards Willi

Hi,

if I remember correctly:

Besides the answer from Willi, you can also use 

\startMPenvironment[+]
...
\stopMPenvironment


and the result will be used for MP and text.
