Dear Idris,
I may be wrong, but I see it \definefont as remains from MkII in MkIV.
(I know that my previous statement comes from my lack of ConTeXt knowledge.)
I tend to use a single typeface (maybe with a fallback for Greek glyphs)
in my documents. This is much easier to maintain.

This is already ConTeXt core code. BTW, contrary to your fears, it
doesn’t set the whole document that way:
\definefont[PagellaRegular] [texgyrepagella-regular.otf at 14pt]
\definefont[PagellaRegularSmall][texgyrepagella-regular.otf at 12pt]
\definefontfamily[nonexisting][rm][TeX Gyre Cursor]
\setupbodyfont[helvetica]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\setuplayout[width=4.5in,height=5.5in,backspace=2in]
\setupnotation[footnote][style={\PagellaRegularSmall},
numbercommand=\PagellaRegularSmall]
\setupnote [footnote]
[textcommand={\setupbodyfont[nonexisting]\high}]
\noheaderandfooterlines
\starttext
\startframedtext[width=4.5in,offset=0pt] \PagellaRegular
\startlocalfootnotes
Text
\startfootnote
Note
\stopfootnote\
More text
\placelocalfootnotes
\stoplocalfootnotes
\stopframedtext
\dorecurse{5}{\input zapf}
\stoptext
Or use \switchtobodyfont[nonexisting] (if you feel more confortable with
it). In any case, both commands work as you’d expect on my computer.

With average user, I mean I don’t fully understand the code that I read
(and I cannot write code for ConTeXt [either TeX or Lua]). Otherwise, I
would be contributing code to ConTeXt.
I hope it helps,
Pablo
