Hi, Dalyoung.

I'm cc'ing to the ConTeXt list, because I don't see why a context.fmt
file (or its equivalent) would be created.

I was fairly certain cont-en.xfmt would have been created, and not
context.xfmt. Anyone in ConTeXt land know why?

Okay, that log looks like texexec didn't find the cont-en format, and it
tried making one. Most likely my patches to texexec didn't cover this
error condition (and I'll look at revising it), but really, you should be
creating a cont-en file with that command listed above.

Anyone else have a clue?

In the meantime, what does this return?:
 sudo texexec --xtx --make --alone cont-en

I have no idea, is fmtutil still playing tricks then? What version of texexec is 
used?

strange,

what happens is one says:

sudo texexec --xtx --make --alone --all

(should create cont-en cont-nl metaun and mptopdf with all patterns loaded)

no, i never get an context.* format

nop, texexec appends the en to cont-

(part of the problem can be that the latest web2c has only fmt as suffix an dno 
longer <engingchar>fmt
