Dear Daylong,

I had upgraded as you have done some time ago and had the same problem. 
I didn't have enough time to pursue it then. But now that Jonathan and 
Hans have kindly given advice I also successfully created a 
cont-en.fmt. I placed it in /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/ 
where it replaced the old file there and I could process XeTeX 
documents successfully but when I attempted to process  a ConTeXt 
document it could not use the format. My problem is if it now has the 
same name as the cont-en.fmt in Web2c where should it be placed? I use 
a G4Mac OSX 10.3.8 and most recent ConTeXt. Any advice would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,
Charlie
