Hi John, me too (current version: 2014.05.21 22:04 ;-)) and both samples (above and below) compile fine. > I also tried this: > ----------------------- > \starttext > 8 1/2 × 11 inch, > \stoptext > --------------------- > The error message is the same: > ------------------------------- > system > tex > error on line 2 in > file /usr/local/active/hall/ftp/test.tex: String > contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ... Are you sure that character encoding in your file is utf8? I can cause this error message, but only after replacing character encoding in file with ISO 8859-15. BTW, your file is in /usr/local. I thought that in Unix there was no place like /home :-).
