Or you use \definetypeface and specserif, specsans and specmono, e.g.

\definetypeface[mainface][rm][specserif][Times New Roman][default]
\definetypeface[mainface][ss][specsans] [Arial] [default]
\definetypeface[mainface][tt][specmono] [Courier] [default]
\definetypeface[mainface][mm][math] [times] [default]

\setupbodyfont[mainface]

\starttext
…
\stoptext

I've added this to the wiki page on using Fonts in LuaTeX, but since I don't know anything about these spec settings it for now just consists of our example Wolfgang. If you send back some explanations then I will add them to the wiki as well.

Are these basically the same settings as used in simplefonts?

Wolfgang
