One inconsistency or maybe bug is that text subscripts come out in Euler
instead of Palatino.  

Here's an example (using 2014.02.14 beta).  The "Sun" subscript using
_{\tf Sun} or _{\rm Sun} was in Palatino in the corresponding MkII
setup, but is in Euler now.  The workaround of an hbox with \tfxx or
\tfx doesn't get quite the right size.

\usetypescriptfile[euler]

\definetypeface [mainface] [rm] [serif] [pagella]          [default]
\definetypeface [mainface] [tt] [mono]  [dejavu]           [default]
[rscale=0.9]
\definetypeface [mainface] [mm] [math]  [pagellaovereuler] [default]

\setupbodyfont[mainface]

\appendtoks \rm \to \everymathematics
\setupmathematics[lcgreek=normal, ucgreek=normal]

\starttext

M_{\rm Sun}\quad M_{\hbox{\tfx Sun}} \quad M_{\hbox{\tfxx Sun}} \quad M_{\tf
