Hi Bill and Axel,

Thanks for your suggestions. Some more info I found out:

1. The viewer crashing was NOT Acroread but KGhostview (interesting!). When I 
view on Acroread 5.05 (linux), I see the printout!

2. When I run my test, I still get those "Emergency stop/Please enter another 
input file" messages, but is I hit enter until the end of the run, I get a 
readable PDF.

3. I added the following to my .bash_profile, which the 7.3 rpm did not do:

export TEXMFMAIN=/usr/share/texmf 
export TEXMFMAIN=/usr/share/texmf
export TEXMFFONTS=/usr/share/texmf/fonts

So the current status is that I still have to hit Enter do make it to the end 
of the run, but otherwise it works. Here is the test, if you are interested 
(the type-* files referred to are like Bill showed in his example):

\usetypescriptfile[type-charter]
\usetypescript[Charter]
\usetypescriptfile[type-palatino]
\usetypescript[Palatino]
\usetypescriptfile[type-utopia]
\usetypescript[Utopia]
\setupbodyfont[MyPalatino]
\setupbodyfont[MyUtopia]
\setupbodyfont[MyCharter]

\starttext

This is Charter roman, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic}, 
{\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}.
