Thank you.

Do you have pstoedit installed?

Anyway, there is a new mechanism that doesn't depend on additional programs:

% outlinetext   (text) transformations ;
% outlinetext.d (text) (draw options) transformations ;
% outlinetext.f (text) (fill options) transformations ;
% outlinetext.b (text) (draw options) (fill options) transformations ;
% outlinetext.r (text) (fill options) (draw options) transformations ;

\starttext

\startMPdefinitions
    let graphictext = new_graphictext ;
\stopMPdefinitions

\startMPpage

    draw outlinetext.b
        ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}")
        (withcolor .5white)
        (withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10)
        xsized 10cm ;

\stopMPpage

\startMPpage

    draw outlinetext.r
        ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}")
        (withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10)
        (withcolor .5white)
        xsized 10cm ;

\stopMPpage

\startMPpage

    draw outlinetext.d
        ("\framed[align=normal]{\input{tufte}}")
        (withcolor .5white)
        xsized 10cm ;

\stopMPpage

\startMPpage

    picture p ; p := outlinetext.p("PX") ;

    for i within p :
        draw i withcolor red withpen pencircle scaled 1/10 ;
    endfor ;

\stopMPpage

\stoptext
