Steffen,

I wouldn't suggest starting out with fonts via texfont, even though it's
a very powerful tool (for more about using it, see http://
homepage.mac.com/atl/tex/ ). It's much better to start out using
ConTeXt's built-in typescripts. Unfortunately, they're poorly documented.
Fortunately, Bill McClain has started mapping them out.

I found a few more combinations to add to Bill's, attached in the
fragment of an HTML file.

So for your example, try:
\usetypescript[berry][ec] 
\setupbodyfont[ppl] 
\starttext
A test W test Q test R
\showfont[Serif]
\stoptext

Although I'm a MacOSX user, I use TeXLive instead of GWTeX, so Gerben's
font installation may be slightly different. Email me off-list if you run
into trouble with this, so we can investigate further...

Using TeXLive fonts

TeXLive comes with a number of Type1 fonts. This section shows how to reference them from ConTeXt.

Predefined fonts

Font	Declaration	Notes
"Bluesky" Computer Modern		This is the default when no font declarations are used.
"CM-Super" Computer Modern	\usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[modern]
Latin Modern	\usetypescript [all] [latin-modern] [texnansi] \setupbodyfont[reset] \setupbodyfont[cmr]	Requires the LM font package and a recent ConTeXt.
Times (math), Helvetica, and Courier (scaled)	\usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[postscript][ec] % or [8r] \setupbodyfont[postscript]	These are all from the URW Nimbus package. Times is the default serif face, \ss produces Helvetica, and \tt produces Courier. Scaled so the x-heights match.
Times (math), Helvetica, and Computer Mono (Scaled)	\usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[times][ec] % or [8r] \setupbodyfont[times]	Because URW Courier is actually pretty ugly.
Palatino	\usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \setupbodyfont[ppl]	This is actually URW Palladio, a copy of Hermann Zapf's Palatino.
Palatino (math), Helvetica, CM-Mono, and Zapf chancery (scaled)	\usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] % \definetypeface[palatino][ss][sans][helvetica][default][rscale=0.9,encoding=ec] \definetypeface[palatino][cg][calligraphy][chancery][default][rscale=1.1,encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[palatino]
Computer Concrete	\definefontsynonym [ccr10] [pcr10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [ccti10] [pcti10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [ccsl10] [pcsl10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [cccsc10] [pccsc10] [encoding=pl0] \setupbodyfont[con]	By Don Knuth The cc-pl (Polish) Type 1 fonts need to be installed.
Computer Concrete with Euler math	\definefontsynonym [ccr10] [pcr10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [ccti10] [pcti10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [ccsl10] [pcsl10] [encoding=pl0] \definefontsynonym [cccsc10] [pccsc10] [encoding=pl0] \usetypescriptfile[type-eul] \setupbodyfont[con,eul]	Euler is by Hermann Zapf with Don Knuth, and Concrete was designed to accompany Euler. Also depends on type-eul and math-eul by Adam Lindsay.
Bookman	\usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \definetypeface[bookman][rm][serif][bookman][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[bookman]	URW Bookman
Charter	\usetypescript[berry][ec] % or [8r] \definetypeface[charter][rm][serif][charter][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[charter]	Bitstream Charter
Charter with Euler math, Helvetica, and CM-mono	\usetypescript[berry][8r] \definetypeface[charter][rm][serif][charter][default][encoding=8r] \definetypeface[charter][ss][sans][helvetica][default][rscale=0.92,encoding=8r] \definetypeface[charter][mm][math][euler][default][rscale=1.05,encoding=math] \definetypeface[charter][tt][mono][computer-modern][default][rscale=1.1,encoding=default] \setupbodyfont[charter]	An example of a scaled family.
Utopia	\usetypescript[berry][ec] \definetypeface[utopia][rm][serif][utopia][default][encoding=ec] \setupbodyfont[utopia]	Because of a bug in TeXLive 7, the tfm and vf files for Adobe Utopia are not installed correctly. To fix this: cd ~/texmf wget http://www.gutenberg.eu.org/pub/gut/\  distribs/texlive/7/utopia.tar.gz tar zxvf utopia.tar.gz texhash
