Really thanks a lot Mojca for the help. I replaced the two files, I found two copies of font-ini.tex and replaced them all. Then: texexec --make --all texexec --make --all --xetex (I guess the first is useless if I execute the second, isn't it?) YES! Alleluja, alleluja, it works, no complaining, with the test file: %\enableregime[utf] \setuppapersize[S6][S6] %\setupbodyfont[ss, 12pt] \definetypeface[Optima][rm][Xserif][Optima] \setupbodyfont[Optima] \starttext \startitemize \item nome dell'insegnamento (es. $\to$ Storia del cinema) \item settore scientifico-disciplinare (SSD, es. $\to$ l-art/06) \item numero di crediti (cfu, es. $\to$ 10) \stopitemize La votazione è irrilevante.

Who doesn't in university, right? I was in this strip club giving this guy a lap dance and all he wanted to do was to discuss Foucault with me. Well, I can stand naked and do my little dance, or I can discuss Foucault, but not at the same time; too much information. (Annabel Chong)
