I managed to install the greek module. Here is where it is placed:

Oh boy. This is really not the place where your personal additions to your TeX installation should go.
Please, where is the right place?
But if it can find the files in this location, let's take it from there.
The point now is that I need to build the fonts (or build the metric =20 files of the fonts). So need to use texfont, am I right? One mandatory =20 argument is the vendor's name. Which name should I type for GFSDidot, =20 GFSPorson, Ibycus, Gentium?
No, the entire point is that the module comes with these metric files; I have prepared all this and run texfont for you. Plus, you don't need any metrical files for XeTeX. I have included a couple of fonts too, so you should be good to go. Try a minimal file:
\enableregime[utf] \usemodule[ancientgreek][font=GFSPorson]
\starttext
test: \localgreek{????? ?????, ???}
\stoptext
Another issue: Xetex says repeatedly (as you can see on the attached file)
! Undefined control sequence. l.5 \beginOLDTEX
Two explanations are possible (there was no attachment to your mail)
Indeed no. I gave up when I received the e-mail saying my message was waiting for approval. I apologise. :
- you're not using ConTeXt. you should invoke it with texexec --xtx yourfilename.tex
No. I am doing exactly that: texexec --xtx myfilename.tex
- your ConTeXt is too old. OpenSuSE has TeXLive 2007, I guess, so you should update ConTeXt.
Right. My Context is from 2007. The point is that I am so clumsy about installing something on OpenSuse/Linux (I have a Windows machine using MikTex, suppose that doesn't help) that I do it always on line with a repo. Download and install rpm packages (or other files) rarely turns out to be good. But anyway I have tried to install according to the recipe I found on wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation). Didn't manage. If you have no other suggestion I can try again and post the result.
I ask if there is no compatibility between Xetex and greekmodule can I =20 use Context with unicode (utf8) input (the manual which I suppose is =20 quite outdated says Context expects pure ASCII input)?
As I said, with the latest version, you should be able to use all engines. So you can use ConTeXt with utf8 input (you have to include the \enableregime[utf] line at the beginning of the file) or XeTeX (which will only work with utf8-input) or luatex. Which manual says that ConTeXt expects pure ASCII input?
This one: mp-cb-en.pdf. Quoting from page 1: "CONTEXT expects a plain ASCII input file. Of course you can use any texteditor or wordprocessor you want, but you should not forget that CONTEXT can only read ASCII input. Most texteditors or wordprocessors can export your file as plain ASCII." I will try to run the file and I will post the output later on. Thanks for your patience. Armando
