<p>Hi,</p>
<p>What about using MP's SVG output? </p>
<p>SVG can make use of OpenType fonts with @font-face, I think...</p>

For the standalone MetaPost the answer is no (unless you limit xetex<br>
to traditional TeX (Type1) fonts and find a way to make it output<br>
traditional dvi). MetaPost is based on PostScript, and as such it does<br>
not support OpenType/TrueType fonts, nor are there short-term plans to<br>
add such support.<br>
<br>
It would be possible to combine the library component of metapost<br>
with xetex, much like it is integrated into LuaTeX. Then the label<br>
typesetting can be done in the typesetting engine itself. This would<br>
work even with the current metapost, but you will have to contact a<br>
xetex developer for that.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Taco<br>
