Dear folks,
I'm afraid I'm facing the XeTeX problem again after I updated ConTeXt to version 2007.02.21 :-(
On a freshly installed MacTeX-2007 (which is TeXLive 2007 up to minor modifications) everything is fine. The ConTeXt version is 2007.01.12. Then I ran ctxtools which installed an updated ConTeXt in texmf-local (besides the folder 2007). Now the pdfTeX engine still works fine. However, XeTeX complained about the wrong format files. So I remade them with "texexec --make --xtx en nl". Later XeTeX spills out the following:
---

Font \*7ptmmmrrm*=[rm-lmr7] not loadable: Metric (TFM) file or installed font not found.
Problems confirmed. I went investigating the differences between the distributions, but I probably didn't investigate long enough. Hans has commented out a big portion of code for dealing with fonts under XeTeX, but even after uncommenting those lines again and after deleting the brackets in font-ini.mkii, I still get Font \*7ptmmmrrm*=ec-lmr12 not loadable which is really strange. Another change was connected with map files, but no success there either.
So I tried Taco's advice
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/ 20070130.082837.4bc51f61.en.html
but even after copying the map files from dvips/lm to pdftex/context the command "ctxtools --dpx --force /usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf- dist/" only returns "CtxTools | provide proper texmfroot".
These problems are not connected.
So I'm completely lost! Can anyone help?

P.S. How can I get "texexec --make --all" to also make the XeTeX formats?
With the --xtx switch (as you already did). Mojca
