Hi Andrea,

According to Wolfgang Schuster and some others removing the file Skia.ttf may solve the problem. 
Please read the thread

and more precisely

Best regards: OK

Dear,

long time since I have posted to the list but still a dedicated ConTeXt user…

Now, I’ve upgraded to Mavericks. No way to use ConTeXt.
I’ve also installed texlive 2013 and I installed the available updates.
But still my ConTeXt is broken (I’m typesetting from TeXShop via GUI menu).
I always get this:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require': /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:501: invalid multibyte escape: /\xFF/ (SyntaxError)
from /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in `require'
from /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:11:in `<main>’

I can understand it has something to do with ruby but nothing else.

?

Many thanks 

Best
