Thank you for the quick repsonse. This looks good to me. However,
could you tell me a way to get the correct baseline with textext? When
I use
\startMPpage
draw btex dummy etex shifted (0,0);
draw btex foo etex shifted (1.5cm,0);
\stopMPpage
the baseline is the one that I would expect from TeX, i.e. at the depth
of the “y” is removed or otherwise correctly accounted for. In contrast
when I use
\startMPpage
draw textext("dummy") shifted (0,0);
draw textext("foo") shifted (1.5cm,0);
\stopMPpage
the baseline will be below the depth of the “y” which is sometimes
unwanted.
