Strange ConTeXt - XeTeX problem

Strange ConTeXt - XeTeX problem

[Helin Gai]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn about using XeTeX in ConTeXt. The problem is that
when I compile a file using texexec --xtx filename.tex, I get the
following error message

*** fontmap psfonts.map not found; texmf.cnf may be broken

*** font ec-lmtt10 not found in psfonts.map or host system; will
substitute Helvetica glyphs

But if I just use xdv2pdf filename.tex, everything turns out perfectly.
I'm wondering what the problem could be.

Thanks!

Sincerely,
Helin

maybe you dvipdfmx map files 

ctxtools --dpxmapfiles pathtotexmfroot

Thanks for the reply.

I solved the problem eventually by commenting out the line

$ENV{'TEXFONTMAPS'} = '.;$TEXMF/fonts/map/{xetex,pdftex,dvips,}//' ;

in texexec.pl.

Thanks again!

texexec.pl is no longer supported. About a year ago, ConTeXt moved to 
the ruby version texexec.rb. Try your code with
   texmfstart texexec --xetex filename

Good to know.
I tried this, when it was executing xdv2pdf, I get the same error
message. But then xdvipdfmx runs, and fixes everything.
