Not really, since my mkii is the one I have in TexLive 2008, updated to
	ConTeXt ver: 2008.10.17 10:41 MKII fmt: 2008.10.17 int: english/english
and it works fine.
Up to now I didn't have installed the minimals through the commands  
given on the Garden.
However, since you told me that it works fine, I just tried to install  
the minimals too, but while generating the formats I get:

! LuaTeX error ...mini/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/luat-tex.lua: 
322: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'total' (a nil value).  
<*> ...texmf-context/tex/context/base/cont-nl.tex \dump

Despite this, knowing that I have installed the minimals in a directory
/Applications/context-mini
and run the file setuptex contained in
/Applications/context-mini/tex
if I say
	/Applications/context-mini/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/texexec basic- 
test.tex
a correct PDF is created, while if I say
	/Applications/context-mini/tex/texmf-osx-intel/bin/texexec --lua  
basic-test.tex
again I have a blank PDF and the log file says that the fonts Latin  
Modern are not found.

I understand that, but why isn't mkiv able to find the default fonts?  
Or are they located at different places?

So once you have an insight please let me know.

Many thanks: OK
