Hello Dalyoung,

I hopw you don't mind if I forward this to the mailing list, but I
won't be home for some days, and for some problems you mention here I
have no idea what could go wrong.

That notice is normal/usual for XeTeX.

In Latin Modern? Which ConTeXt version? Did you only install TeXLive
or also ConTeXt updater (with the latest version of ConTeXt)? Small
squares could be a consequence of the old Type1 fonts instead of
OpenType (in case you have an old version).

Hmmm ... you need to ask about that on the XeTeX mailing list. Mention
which fonts exactly are causing problems and where you got them.

Can you send exact typescripts you're using? Failure with uppercase
greek is usually a typescript problem (I have experienced it very
often).

See also recent messages on the XeTeX mailing list.

And see
    @@runoptions['xetex']   = ['--8bit','-output-driver="xdvipdfmx -E
-d 4 -V 5"']
in scripts/context/ruby/base/tex.rb

But if you change sdvipdfmx to xdv2pdf, you'll have problems with
Latin Modern (they're hardcoded in the ConTeXt format and file names
don't work with xdv2pdf, so you would need to change definitions in
type-oft.tex I guess).

I have no idea. But please post a complete example. You can also try
to upgrade to a newer version of XeTeX and xdvipdfmx (backup the old
version before doing so) from
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/bin/xetex/osx-intel/bin/, although
this won't solve your exact problems. Make sure that you're using the
latest stable version of ConTeXt (2007.09.28). The problems with \font
command need to be reported to the XeTeX mailig list (name the fonts
and where you got them from), for the ConTeXt-related problems, attach
a miniminal example together with your typescripts.
