Hello all,

I tried, without succes, to inbed blackboard bold symbols in a
MetaPost file by using mathbb{R} (for example) between btex and etex
(for example, inside a "label" command). But that didn't work...

Can anybody help me by telling me how to insert such blackboard bold
symbols into a MetaPost document?

% test.mp
% ensure necessary TeX packages:
verbatimtex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\begin{document}
etex;
beginfig(1);
label(btex $\mathbb{R}$ etex,(0,0));
endfig;
end
% end of test.mp

To ensure latex is used to process the label, run mpost
with this command
mpost -tex=latex test.mp

If that doesn't work, don't say "that didn't work". Tell
us what actually happens (for example, any screen messages).
