I am wondering if this is a Font problem, obscured by all of the other messages that the program produces, or if it has to do with my use of particular packages. Again, I have this problem ONLY on the Mac.

Howdy,

That's interesting since supp-pdf.mkii is a ConTeXt file. How far into the compile is the problem? Do you have older packages in your personal texmf tree that could be interfering with the compile (see the paths in the log file).

If you wish too please send the log file and/or the source file to me so I can test here.

Good Luck,
