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.
