Hi Dave,
good to see you're giving ConTeXt a whirl! As for the fonts: recent
ConTeXt comes with support for the tex-gyre fonts, so if you want
something like Palatino, try this in your preamble:
\usetypescriptfile[type-gyr]
\definetypeface[myface] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default]
[encoding=texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[myface,12pt]
for something times-like, simply replace palatino with times.
This should also work with MikTeX, I hope.
All best
Thomas
