XeTeX in ConTeXt

XeTeX in ConTeXt

[Charles Doherty]

Dear all,

I have tried to upgrade ConTeXt using
sudo ctxtools --updatecontext
followed by
sudo texmfstart texexec --make en
and
sudo texmfstart texexec --make --xetex en

Following the upgrade a normal ConTeXt document runs perfectly but  
when I run XeConTeXt through TeXShop I get the readout below. When I  
go back to the TeXLive download of TeX everything works.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks,
Charlie

In order to be able to use the latest ConTeXt, you need to:
- "install" to the latest LM fonts
- preferrably "install" the latest XeTeX

For XeTeX, the easiest way is to upgrade it is to download it from here:
    http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/xetex/
and replace the old executable (maybe you need to set the executable
flag after download) or simply issue something like:
    rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/xetex/osx-yourarchitecture/bin/
/usr/texbin/

For Latin Modern fonts you can try (single line)
    rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/fonts/new/fonts/opentype/public/lm/
/path-to-tex-tree/fonts/opentype/public/lm/
and then run mktexlsr.

Dear Mojca,

After a little self-inflicted pain your suggestions below worked  
perfectly!

Thank you very much,
Charlie
