Maybe the problem is that I install my formats locally under a user name not being super user or system administrator (just a simple security precaution).
It seems so. Where is the format file usually placed, and what are the owner and the permissions of the directory containing it? As a general rule, if your ConTeXt tree is installed by some Unix user, you should have the rights of that user to make the formats (there are exceptions, of course). Arthur
