When I try to typeset a file using XeConTeXt METAFONT is called and goes into a loop trying to make the fonts you see below. I have made a clean TeX installation from the MacTeX site but the result is the same. As an alternative I installed Minimals and created an MinXeConTeXt.engine in TeXShop. Using this I get a pdf with all my fonts without a problem. I uninstalled TeX completely but with the re-installation of MacTeX 2008 I get the result below. I would be most grateful for advice on what to do to put things right.
