Description

\startMPenvironment is a deprecated evironment in which one could place settings that one only wanted to apply in the MetaPost environment, but not in the document itself. One should use \defineMPinstance and \setupMPinstance, instead.

Example

\startMPenvironment
\usetypescript[times][texnansi]
\switchtobodyfont[times,10pt]
\stopMPenvironment
