Hi John, me too (current version: 2014.05.21 22:04 ;-)) and both samples (above and below) compile fine.
I also tried this: ----------------------- \starttext 8 1/2 × 11 inch, \stoptext --------------------- The error message is the same: ------------------------------- system > tex > error on line 2 in file /usr/local/active/hall/ftp/test.tex: String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ...
Are you sure that character encoding in your file is utf8? I can cause this error message, but only after replacing character encoding in file with ISO 8859-15. BTW, your file is in /usr/local. I thought that in Unix there was no place like /home :-). I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
