Hello all,

finaly I solved my problem: I had my metapost graphic in an external file and used it with:

\startuseMPgraphic{test}
\input mp.mp ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\useMPgraphic{test}

or

\startbuffer[test1]
\input mp.mp
\stopbuffer

\processMPbuffer[test1,graphic]

in both cases I get the graphic but the font switching does not work. When I copy the content of my graphic file into "\startuseMPgraphic \stopuseMPgraphic" or "\startbuffer \stopbuffer" I works. Is there an explanation for this behaviour? I thought \input would be equal to typing it directly.

What is the best way to handle multiple graphics when I want to use the font switching mechanismn? Any advice?

Thanks alot
Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

I do hope that I am not missing something. But I think, that you should say in the MPenvironment:
\setupbodyfont[Cmbr,12pt]

Otherwise the setupbodyfont command does not know which font to setup.

Hello,

I have problems with changeing the font in Metapost. I defined my own typescripts somewhere and I also have a mapfile for that fonts. In normal text it workes fine (even math).

Now I want to change the font in MP as well (my text is included as label("test",(200,200));):

%normal stups:
\loadmapfile[cmbright.map] %it seems that the mapfile is loaded only once
    \usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr]
    \usetypescript[Cmbr]
     \setupbodyfont[12pt]

\startMPenvironment
\loadmapfile[cmbright.map] %it seems that the mapfile is loaded only once
    \usetypescriptfile[type-cmbr]
    \usetypescript[Cmbr]
     \setupbodyfont[12pt]
\stopMPenvironment

But I always get the standard CMR output.

Did I miss a step somewhere?

Has anyone an idea what's going wrong?

Thanks for any help!

Wolfgang
