Hi Mojca,
Thanks for your two answers. I guess updating my distribution is the
first priority--perhaps that is causing all the errors I just posted
in answer to Wolfgang's suggestion.
I'll try your suggestion and then see if it works, will confirm to the
mailing list once I know.
Thanks
Roland
PS Is it always necessary to upgrade a fresh distribution immediately?
I am a bit surprised that a fresh MacTex from December would already
be so outdated...

Roland,
I forgot two things so I should better mention some before you ask.
First: welcome to the ConTeXt community. Second: you need a *recent enough* ConTeXt (anything between october 07-january 08), but if you take the latest one, then you also need the future version of LM :) And you need a recent version of XeTeX & xdvipdfmx.
If you're using TeX Live's version, then:
a) update XeTeX binaries
compile it from sources or take it from here (you can download it manually from http or using rsync) and replace the old binaries with these ones:
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/ or rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/ path-to-bins
b) update ConTeXt
many other ways to do it as well (you can take a zip from pragma)
For example: rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/2008.01.16/ path-to-texmf-tree-with-context you may replace 2008.01.16 with any version that you find here: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/
2008.01.16 requres new LM fonts already, older versions do not.
c) update LM if you take too recent ConTeXt (otherwise, leave the fonts alone) - these fonts are still a pre-release version, so you should better take an older version of ConTeXt
rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/fonts/new/fonts/opentype/public/lm/ path-to-LM
