Since texmfstart era, pdf is the default output format anyway, so you really need to try hard to produce dvi.

Else you need to ask on the XeTeX mailing list. (But indeed: why not trying out LuaTeX?) > Tomorrow I'll try to use an additional PostScript font - is that even > possible? Otherwise I must convert it to OpenType. It is, but which OS and what kind of PostScript font are you using? Mac type of PostScript fonts doesn't work (or better: it only works with xdv2pdf, which isn't supported in ConTeXt any more). You can use the "windows type" Type1 fonts (i.e. just the normal .pfb files). That should work on any system, but on Mac you need to reference it by filename. Font name won't work.
