For MkIV you can put the definition in “type-<font>.mkiv” and when
put “\setupbodyfont[<font>]” in your document ConTeXt loads the file
without the need for \usetypescriptfile.
When you want to support XeTeX and pdfTeX at the same time you have
to use \beginNEWTEX and \beginOLDTEX when you want both of them in
the same file but you can also put both in separate files where is
loaded from type-<font>.mkii
\ifnum\texengine\pdftexengine
\usetypescriptfile[type-<font>-pdftex]
\else
\usetypescriptfile[type-<font>-xetex]
\fi
