Hello, I'm using ConTeXt 2000.12.14

It looks like some <protection> leaked through some macros, since ? has
catcode 11 instead of 12. It's not my document's fault, since
\showthe\catcode`? gives 11 even at the very top of the file. This means
that things like \type{\dots?} cannot be used anymore (that's what happened
to me :->).

I believe this is a "recent" problem, since the previous format I was using
(2000.9.21) compiled the document flawlessly.

Ah, this is some optimization code that is etex specific and ends up in
normal tex mode. 

either comment 

  \readfile{font-exp.tex}{}{} % load local experiments

in font-ini.tex, or 

  delete font-exp.tex 

and in both cases regenerate the pdftex format, or even better: 

  USE PDFETEX ! 

but, i'll fix it anyway -) 

end
