The best and easiest way of installing XeTeX on MacOSX is by using Gerben Wierda's [http://www.rna.nl/tex.html i-Installer]. After that, there is currently ([[1 December]] [[2004]]) one configuration file change that you are likely to need. XeTeX currently doesn't accept or ignore the <tt>-translate-file</tt> option that Hans has chosen as a default for normal ConTeXt operation. I haven't figured out how to run different "profiles" or configurations within my current installation, so I just edited the following line in <tt>/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/context/config/texexec.ini</tt> (or wherever <tt>texexec</tt> finds its configuration file) from:  for tetex set TeXPassString to -progname=context --default-translate-file=cp8bit ...to...  for tetex set TeXPassString to -progname=context  I believe that's all that's necessary to change from the default settings. I run ConTeXt with both pdfetex and XeTeX under this configuration, and it seems to work well enough (except for a minor warning in pdfTeX). After XeTeX being installed and ConTeXt being updated, you should make a format with <tt>texexec</tt>:
