hi there,

That's good, welcome to the ConTeXt community. I'm sure you'll like it around here... I'll try and answer some of your questions:
shell_escape = t
if it isn't already.

in the default openbsd package this line says:
shell_escape = f
what is the difference? and what is it for anyway? some external execution of the legends are true? :)
Among other things, ConTeXt has wonderful integration for an implementation of Metapost called Metafun. If you set shell escape to "t," ConTeXt will be able to compile Metafun code that is included in your documents. this is a security issue when you're on a system with many users; if you;re running it on your own personal computer, it is safe to set this to true.

This is the old Latin-Modern bug that is a recurring event on this list. Download the file cont-lmt.zip from the pragma website, unzip it in your texmf-tree, run texhash, and this should solve your problems on this front. HTH, you'll certainly receive more answers. Thomas
