make a series of
\starttypescript[mono][tx][..]
\stoptypescript
and put that in for instance typeface.tex and say
\usettypescriptfile[typeface] before loading typescripts.

in type-enc the symbolic names are mapped onto tx files, aren't those tx
files somewhere in yout path?
\starttypescript [math] [times] [all]
\definefontsynonym [Times-Roman-Upright] [txr]

well, in that case i would have to look into the proper names of the tx
mono spaced characters (something for the 'ntg sleuteldag')

no, \setupbodyfont[pos] will give you times + helvetica + courier but cmr math
\usetypescript[berry][ec]
\usetypescript[postscript][ec]
\setupbodyfont[postscript]
should give you times + helvetica + courier + tx math
and
\usetypescript[berry][ec]
\usetypescript[times][ec]
\setupbodyfont[times]
gives times + helvetica + cmr + tx math
where in the last two cases the fonts are relatively scaled in order to match

mfonts.pdf

hm, because i only looked into the times part, and not in the accompanying
sans and monospaced fonts
>You yourself made me a devotee of txfonts (and pxfonts)!
it's really not that hard, (on the next ntg installation day i will give
you a copy of my minimal system with all those free fonts including the
tx/px's)
[i'm willing to add all kind of mappings and fonts, but have no time to
build lists myself, so if someone provides me the names of fonts to use ... ]
