Hi, I've felt into same pb's trying to compile s-pre-61.tex directly from it's original source. As far I can see (just to the surface of the screen in fact) it's related to a specific font installed at Pragma, not available for everyone as is. if I replace or uncomment : \usetypescriptfile[type-ghz] \definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans][optima-nova][default][encoding=\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[mainface,ss,18pt] and put such general font switch like : \usetypescript [modern][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[modern,ss,11pt] it compile without pbs. Your installation seems rather old

It is the one which is included in the Linux MAndrake 10.1. It might be a one year old version of ConTeXt... So, probably "rather old", regarding ConTeXt age ;-) I do not know exactly how to see the age of my ConTeXt distrib ... There many dates around ... At least my s-pre-61.tex dates from 15/3/2004 ... Anyway, I tried (as far as I understand it correctly your modification proposal, and I still have the same bug ;-( I post at the end of this message the s-pre-61.tex I hv ... maybe it is not the right one (an old one).

Cordialement
