ConTeXt with XeTeX (beginner question)

Hello,
    I am using MikTeX 2.7 with XeTeX 0.997 and ConTeXt version
2008.01.28 21:28. Working off of this wiki page,

http://wiki.contextgarden.net/XeTeX

I am trying to load system fonts in a ConTeXt document. When I run the
file (below), I get an error (further below). One thing I suspect may
be part of the problem is cont-en.fmt. In the MikTeX bin directory, I
run

texexec --make --xtx en

This creates cont-en.fmt in the bin directory, but I don't know that
that's where ConTeXt expects it to be. Searching the rest of the
MikTeX directory structure, I can't find another file with that name.

Any help appreciated,
Adam Baker

Have a look at this thread:

This may be the same problem.

You don't need to run that. MikTeX should already generate the format
for you (and it did, otherwise you would not be able to run "texexec
--xtx" at all).

In particular, "texexec --make --xtx en" probably behaves badly on MikTeX since:
- there is no real need for it (you can use miktex's tools to generate format)
- difficult to guess the most appropriate location where the format should go
- Hans doesn't use MikTeX, other users do not care too much, mostly
because of the first reason (there is gui to generate formats)

It's probably somewhere in "Documents and Settings". Try to look for
    kpsewhich cont-en.fmt

You can also test with the simplest
\starttext
abc
\stoptext
file - I guess that it should result in the same problem.

Just to make sure: have you updated the MikTeX packages recently? It
looks like you have "new" ConTeXt and old Latin Modern fonts to me,
but I might be wrong.

True, but in MikTeX that should not happen since both ConTeXt and LM
were supposed to be updated simultaneously. TeX Live has no
auto-update mechanisms and at the time when the problem arised LM has
not even been released yet.

For a MikTeX user, following the suggestions from that old thread is
probably a bad idea.

Re: ConTeXt with XeTeX (beginner question)

I believe this was the problem. I recently upgraded to MikTeX 2.7, but
I also moved my packages with: mpm [snip] --import-all. I guess that
imported old files. (Ironic step to include in an upgrade, eh?)

I am now able to compile the above example with:

texexec --xtx test

Thanks to everyone for responding.
