I tried to write a typescript to use the Helvetica PDF base 14 fonts.
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.
Yet, the example below uses the (default) Computer Modern Roman fonts. I wrote the typescript along the lines of the excellent help document at (http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html).
Thanks for your attention, --Stefan

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! adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
