On re-reading my own README, it occurred to me that you may also use
Lua(La)TeX directly with MetaPost. Just pass -tex=dviluatex or
-tex=dvilualatex to the mpost command (there is also an example inside
the folder above that shows you how to do it in TeXShop). If you know
LaTeX and don't want to go the ConTeXt route, that may be another way to
enhance MetaPost's text typesetting capabilities.
