Yes the xetex format is missing whereas the pdftex one is present. I guess = something is missing in the postinstall script of the context deb package. = Unfortunately, I don't really know how to check it. Anyway, I ran texexec to build the format. As root, it is written to /etc/texmf/web2c/xetex/cont-en.fmt which is not very coherent with the location of the pdftex format. kpsewhich finds the format, but I'm stiil unable to compile Hello world. I = now = get the following error: kpathsea: Running mktextfm lmromanslant10-regular mktextfm: Running mf-nowin -progname=3Dmf \mode:=3Dljfour; mag:=3D1; nonsto= pmode; = input lmromanslant10-regular This is METAFONT, Version 2.71828 (Web2C 7.5.6) kpathsea: Running mktexmf lmromanslant10-regular !

Emergency stop. <*> ...; nonstopmode; input lmromanslant10-regular Maybe I should write a debian bug report. This problem hasn't been declared = yet. But I'm not sure how to do that!
