encoding/compiling issues (macosx)

Hi to all,

we (I and Miriam, who is in CC, but she should be now on the list)  
are setting up our ConTeXt installation  in order to (re-)typeset the  
academic journal we are editors.
We are both on macosx: the idea is to use XeTeX.
I installed on Miriam's macbook mactex, and  I also have updated it  
from the mactex site. Exactly like mine.
We're experiencing this problem:
we have an utf 8 text and I'm compiling with no problem on my  
machine. On Miriam's one
1. if we compile with ConTeXt-pdftex (specifying the regime) we are  
having little black boxes near the non-ascii char (i.e. an accented  
glyph is rendered as non accented glyph + box)
2. if we compile with XeConTeXt the resulting pdf simply skips the  
accents (e.g an accented glyph is rendered non accented)

More:
We can't do
ctxtools --updatecontext

it complaint it cannot fetch the zip

Differences:
1. I am on macbook pro, she's on macbook (both on 2007 intel)
2. I'm using the English version of the macosx system, she's using  
the Italian one.


Many thanks

I did this interview where I just mentioned that I read Foucault. Who  
doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this  
guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with  
me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss  
Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information.
