I'll add this:
\startMPpage
draw lmt_outline [
kind = "outline",
text = "\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f
o o",
]
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection down
withshadecolors (red, blue)
;
\stopMPpage
so a single path option (no picture)

Thank you so much for the sample examples
it would be great to also make text select able in output pdf
the third example currently does not work. did you mean you will add
this feature for next updates?
we're talking outlines so that is paths which implies no search but you
can do this (Keith and/or Hraban will explain and/or wikify it)
\starttext
\startbuffer[MyText]
\definedfont[name:texgyrepagellabold*default]foo f o o%
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[MyText]
\framed[align=normal,frame=off]{\input{tufte}}%
\stopbuffer
\setbox\scratchbox\hbox\bgroup
\startMPcode
draw lmt_outline [
kind = "outline",
text = "\getbuffer[MyText]",
]
withshademethod "linear"
withshadedirection down
withshadecolors (red, blue)
;
\stopMPcode
\egroup
\startoverlay
{\scale[height=\htdp\scratchbox,width=\wd\scratchbox]{\effect[hidden]{\getbuffer[MyText]}}}
{\box\scratchbox}
\stopoverlay
\stoptext
