seams this code means to put a hidden text with same size behind metapost shape. but it does not work properly for me (current version: 2024.04.01 08:59) and produce empty page but with searchable hidden text. also when i edit the code and replace metapost part like this:
\startMPcode
draw lmt_outline [
kind = "outline",
text = "\getbuffer[MyText]",
]
withcolor red
;
\stopMPcode
it produces a selectable hidden text on top of body and red text that drawn
by metapost below of that.
How can this problem be solved?
i attached the codes and pdf results.
