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.

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. (Annabel Chong)
