no need to loop over tt
But the intention was to get a gradient _within_ the text.
Might there be a problem with the latest changes to gradients?
\startMPpage
picture tt ; tt := lmt_outline [
kind = "path",
text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o",
] ;
fill
for i within tt : pathpart i && endfor cycle
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection down
withshadecolors (red, blue) ;
\stopMPpage
I'll add this:
\startMPpage
draw lmt_outline [
kind = "outline",
text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o",
]
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection down
withshadecolors (red, blue)
;
\stopMPpage
so a single path option (no picture)
