Interesting problem. I haven't dealt with it, but it seems like a worthy
goal. I thought Patrick Grundlach (?) did some work with this, but I'm
not sure. Check the archives.

Okay, put the following typescripts into a separate file (type-hv.tex):

>\starttypescript [sans] [helvetica] [texnansi]
>   \definefontsynonym [Helvetica]             [hv]   [encoding=texnansi]
>   \definefontsynonym [Helvetica-Bold]        [hvb]  [encoding=texnansi]
>   \definefontsynonym [Helvetica-BoldOblique] [hvbo] [encoding=texnansi]
>   \definefontsynonym [Helvetica-Oblique]     [hvo]  [encoding=texnansi]
>\stoptypescript
>
>\starttypescript [sans] [helvetica] [name]
>   \definefontsynonym [Sans]            [Helvetica]
>   \definefontsynonym [SansBold]        [Helvetica-Bold]
>   \definefontsynonym [SansItalic]      [Helvetica-Oblique]
>   \definefontsynonym [SansSlanted]     [Helvetica-Oblique]
>   \definefontsynonym [SansBoldItalic]  [Helvetica-BoldOblique]
>   \definefontsynonym [SansBoldSlanted] [Helvetica-BoldOblique]
>   \definefontsynonym [SansCaps]        [Helvetica]
>\stoptypescript
>
>\starttypescript [pdf]
>   \definetypeface [MyHelvetica] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] 
>[encoding=texnansi]
>\stoptypescript

...and replace them in your source file with:

\usetypescriptfile[type-hv]

>\usetypescript[pdf]
>\setupbodyfont[MyHelvetica]

\setupbodyfont[MyHelvetica,ss]


>\starttext
>This is Helvetica, {\bf bold}, {\it italic}, {\bi bold-italic},
>{\tfa bigger} and {\tfx smaller}.
>\stoptext

After I got my pdftex.map pointing to pdftex_ndl14.map (the hardest part
of all this), I was able to generate the PDFs with the correct,
unembedded fonts.

Hope that helps... you were pretty close!
