Chris,
I pulled the cvs and applied the patch. I ran the
mp export through mptopdf and then included it in pdflatex
document. The colors now work properly, thanks a lot.
The only problem I had is that I could not change
the font size and the default size was very small (at least
for producing foils). Does anyone know a fix for this?
Once again, thanks Chris.
Jon
