Is it a letter vs A4 thing perhaps?

No. It is not letter vs. A4. Paper sizing is setup and letter is being 
used. I tried to attach a couple of PDF samples, but the list said the 
files were too big.

Does anyone have someplace I could upload the samples for review by the 
experts. I made them on the same machine, using the same source, once 
with the texlive-2007 install and once with the minimals install.

[NTG-context] Fonts: Minimals v. Texlive 2007

Thanks to everyone who helped me get the minimals installed.

I now have the minimals, --context=current, not beta. I expected that 
the output of these two systems would be nearly identical. They are not.

I do not use any special font handling. I let Context handle it all. I
