Problem with Xetex

Problem with Xetex

[cidadaum]

Probably I am the most troubled, unsuccessful beginner in this list  
(it's my <i>fado</i>), anyway:
I have two installations of context: one in ~/texmf; another in  
~/context to which I switch typing . ~/context/tex/setuptex  
~/context/tex.
The first one has a problem with 8bit output (\enableregiem[utf8]: it  
says in the log file: possible problem with 8bit output.
Xetex hangs on with: kpathsea mktextfm lmroman...
The second installation has another problem with xetex: "could not  
open config file dvipdfmx.cfg"

maybe the first tree has an ancient xetex and/or context and/or those 
fonts ... xetex is a moving target and when possible context adapts to 
it and as a result they need to be in sync (the same is true for context 
mkiv and luatex)

\enableregime (I guess it was only a typo in e-mail), but that signals
an "ancient" version of ConTeXt. Just leave \enableregime out - you
don't need it.

Again - ancient XeTeX.

That's not a problem, it's only a warning that doesn't apply to
ConTeXt at all. Did you have any problems generating your documents
with it?
