Akira Kakuto suggested me this:

Please add a line
#encoding: ASCII-8BIT
at the top of
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb 

that fixed my problem, which is related to the texlive distro according to Hans, which is older than current

thanks to all!

PS: btw, should I consider to switch to MkIV? I mean, at the moment I’m not interested into Lua capabilities, but is mkII intended as a leggy support?

Hi Andrea,

According to Wolfgang Schuster and some others removing the file
Skia.ttf may solve the problem.
Please read the thread

no, it's a ruby issue (mkii related)

Mavericks' ruby is:

$ ruby --version
ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [universal.x86_64-darwin13]
