It seems that half of the time content is processed with ConTeXt and
half of the time it is processed with plain pdfTeX. I need to inspect.
In TeX Live 2011 it works since pdftex.map is complete. I could in
theory extend pdftex.map, but I need to figure out which step in
mptopdf is failing anyway.

Hello,
what is the proper way of using MetaPost with TeX text? I have two examples:
beginfig(1);
draw unitsquare scaled(1cm);

Easiest is:
fig-1.tex:
\startMPpage
draw unitsquare scaled(1cm);
draw textext("$\pi$") shifted((0.5,0.5)*cm);
\stopMPpage
and then run:
context fig-1
this will give you an independent pdf

I'm using it for stand-alone graphics, to be included in a latex file, to be compiled with pdflatex. In short, I have a diagram in mp, and I used to do the following: mpost diagram.mp mptopdf diagram.1 My understanding is that the .1 file generated by mpost is actually an .eps file, but pdflatex doesn't accept it, and that's why I used mptopdf. I do not see any options in either mpost or context that would allow me to do that.

It seems related to mpost.
Saving this to mpost.map
lmmi10 LMMathItalic10-Regular "enclmmathit ReEncodeFont"
echo test | mpost --jobname=test test.mp
The result eps has all the fonts subsetted.

Just some more information ... Looking into the filename.1 makes me
very suspicious:

What exactly does "begindraw" do in EPS file? Adding ec-lmr12 and
lmmi12 into pdftex.map got rid of the error, but didn't generate any
valid output (it created an empty pdf). What mptopdf run on filename.1
does is basically
pdftex -fmt=mptopdf -progname=context \\relax mathmp.1
(maybe I'm wrong; but it behaved exactly like that), but I didn't
manage to get any sensible output out of that.

I have tried to compile the following example:
beginfig(1);
draw btex $x+1=2$ etex;
endfig;
end.
It works fine with TeX Live 2010/TLContrib, but fails in minimals
(nearly-latest version of ConTeXt).
To me this seems as if mptopdf was trying to run plain pdfTeX instead
of ConTeXt [or I have no idea what]. It then only reads pdftex.map
which certainly lacks the information about lmmi font. But I wonder
why it only reads from pdftex.map ... I could fix pdftex.map, but I
would like to figure out what exactly is going on ...

MPtoPDF 1.4.0 : error while processing tex file
I'm using ConTeXt minimals under Ubuntu 10.10, the last stable version of
ConTeXt (ver: 2010.07.30 11:35 MKII). However, it produces the same error
with two other betas I've got in my computer.
I guess there is something broken inside the mptopdf since I can compile the
charts themselves with texexec --mptex chart08.mp. And when I include it
into a TeX file with \externalfigure, the pdf file created is all right.
Can you tell me how to solve it? I will really need mptopdf in two or three
weeks painfully. Many thanks.
Best wishes,

Totally weird. The file /usr/local/texlive/2010/texmf-dist/scripts/context/perl/mptopdf.pl was not executable, but it is executable in TeXLive's SVN which is a bit strange. Moreover the file I have is dated 28th May, while the one in TL is dated 1st June. Maybe MacTeX took older files exactly in the three-day window (but I did update after that ...) or maybe I simply screwed up the installation by rewriting some ConTeXt files one day without being aware of it (which is more probable). TLContrib's ConTeXt doesn't seem to accidentally have that file, at least not at the moment.

Hi, That mptopdf probably comes from the 'mptopdf' texlive package.

[NTG-context] mptopdf (broken again)
Hans & Taco,
A tiny request: is there any chance to make the mptopdf script point
to "--script mptopdf" instead of "--script base"?
And note for Taco: I have no idea how it got there (I think that I use
TLContrib), but my TL installation (/usr/texbin/mptopdf) contains:
eval '(exit $?0)' && eval 'exec perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}' && eval 'exec
perl -S $0 $argv:q'
if 0;
# MikTeX users can set environment variable TEXSYSTEM to "miktex".
#D \module

And when I try to use it I get:

Thanks a lot,
Mojca

This probably means that you do not have the latin modern fonts
installed. Check to make sure that you have all the texlive packages
in ubuntu installed, the dependencies are not always perfect.

[NTG-context] mptopdf does not work with filenametemplate
Given the following source file foo.mp: beginfig(0); filenametemplate "foo.eps"; endfig; end; running 'mptopdf foo.mp' results in: MPtoPDF 1.3.3 : no filename matches foo (because it is looking for foo.0, of course).

If you context still runs ok, I would not worry about it, since it seems metafun is the only format that was correctly regenerated. It could be that ctxtools somehow only understands about pdftex 1.40 (whose executable name for pdfetex is now once again renamed to pdftex) Hans can no doubt explain what happens here better than I can.

[NTG-context] MPtoPDF Error ??
I am getting the following error when recompiling my docs with the
latest context.
The docs run ok with the previous context version.
Don't know what is wrong here, I hope someone has the answer.

Re: [NTG-context] mptopdf problems
Hi Thomas,
You can also try
texexec --mpgraphic file.mp
AFAIK, it should be equivalent to mptopdf, if not better. It creates a
temporary tex file, with
\setoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
% Some lines for font maps
\starttext
\startTEXpage
\convertMPtoPDF{file.1}{1}{1}
\stopTEXpage
\startTEXpage
\convertMPtoPDF{file.2}{1}{1}
\stopTEXpage
% etc
\stoptext
So, in the end you get a single pdf with each figure on different page.

[NTG-context] mptopdf problems
Hi all,
I'm struggling with a new installation here on my MacBook. One
problem I have is that mptopdf bails out when I have textext code in
my mpgraphics. There were a couple of similar problems in the mailing
list a while back, but no real solution. When I compare the
mpgraph.log output from this new install with the output from a good
installation, these are the diffs I get:
-(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx)
**test-mpgraph.mp
(test-mpgraph.mp
-{randomseed:=33}
-write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpo'.

-write0 = `test-mpgraph.mpt'.

From what I've understood, metapost seems to be calling the wrong
text (tex instead of texexec), but where can this be fixed? The
configuration on both installations is identical (write 18 enabled,
identical cont-sys.tex).
Thanks

Hm, strange. Can you print $command ?
{ if ($miktex)
{ if ($dosish)
{ $command = "pdfetex &mptopdf" }
else
{ $command = "pdfetex \\&mptopdf" } }
else
{ if ($dosish)

else
{ $command = "pdfetex -progname=context \\&mptopdf" } }
maybe changing the &mptopdf into "-fmt=mptopdf" works better?
(we needed the & because of changes in the (e)fmt switch last year in pdftex,
maybe we can drop that now, assuming that everyoen has a recent version)

I can't find neither cont-en.efmt nor metafun.mem on my harddisk,

Andreas, First, type: texexec --make --alone and see what happens. Look in \localtexmf\miktex\fmt and check the dates of cont-en.efmt. Look for a newly updated metafun.mem file. If there is one there, move it to \localtexmf\miktex\mem. On some systems texexec --make --alone will dumpt the format files into the current directory. You must move them manually to the correct place: \localtexmf\miktex\fmt for format files, \localtexmf\miktex\mem for the metapost format files. Don't forget to refresh the filename database and make sure Yap is closed when you do so.
