After an i-installation running ConTeXt (by pdfeTeX) works right out of the box (without any commandline action), same for plain XeTeX (plainTeX by XeTeX?). But running a ConTeXt document by XeTeX fails: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 fixing engine variable : pdfetex executable : xetex format : cont-en inputfile : text output : pdftex interface : en current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.99b (Web2C 7.5.3) (WARNING: translate-file "natural.tcx" ignored) ---! /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/cont-en.fmt was written by pdfetex (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied) return code : 256 run time : 1 seconds total run time : 1 seconds Someone knows what to do?

If you want both xetex and pdftex, you need to have two different format-files, both called cont-en.fmt. They need to be in two different subdirectories: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/pdfetex [for pdfetex] /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex [for xetex] Remove the cont-*.fmt files in the .../web2c directory and regenerate the formats with texexec.

Works fine in Terminal: texexec --xtx text.tex But the next problem is TeXShop. How do I trigger ConTeXt-XeTeX in TeXShop? The only solution I've found is: 1) start the document with %&program=xetex 2) in TeXShop's menu choose "Typeset": "ConTeXt" and "Personal Script" This will typeset a ConTeXt file with XeTeX. But at the end of TeXShop's log it says: "This script has been deprecated. Please call simpdftex latex test.dvi instead." So, what was wrong? What's the correct way?

(The name "XeConTeXt.engine" can actually be "whatYouWant.engine"). 2) In a Terminal window make this file "XeConTeXt.engine" executable with the command chmod 755 XeConTeXt.engine 3) Reopen TeXShop and a file you want to typeset with XeConTeXt: you'll see in a small menu in the toolbar of the source file, that there is an option with XeConTeXt. Choose this and then typeset your file. Note: The above works provided the format cont-en.fmt created with XeTeX sits in the directory /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/xetex I hope this will be useful for what you want to do.
