The example works correctly with
ConTeXt  ver: 2009.01.18 14:39 MKIV  fmt: 2009.1.25  int: english/english
as well as with MKII

Thanks for your answer.

I installed the 2009-01-18 yesterday at home on my mac. Everything works
fine!

Now I re-reinstalled the 2009-01-18 on the windows machine at work, and I
get the same result as before: no gray background.
I even did the "texexec --make metafun --standalone" from Wolfgang, but
still no background. 

I noticed that on the win system the <filename>-mpgraph.4000 etc. and
-mpgraph.keep files don't appear at all; they do appear of course with
2008-10-31. Appearently these are holding the code for the background.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Thomas



Finally I've found the problem.

In the cont-sys files from 2009-01-18 the following two lines are enabled:

\runMPgraphicstrue
\runMPTEXgraphicstrue

(in 2008-10-31 they are still outcommented)


But to make this work on windows a few additional steps were necessary:

1. texexec --make --alone metafun (as Wolfgang already mentioned)

2. copy the new metafun.mem from \Documents and
Settings\username\.texlive2008\texmf-var\web2c\ to the 'normal' texmf
directory (\texlive\2008\texmf-var\web2c\metapost).

3. Enable write18 in the texmf.cnf

4. remake the formats


Greetings
Thomas
