I suspect that one might need to fix or improve typescripts. Do you have some visual examples to show the differences? It would be interesting to compare the differences between bchr8t and mdbchr8t and change typescripts if needed.
Moreover, math support would have to be added to typescripts - it could be based on mathdesign.

Thanks Mojca. Appreciate your response, though as you said I do not really understand what I have to do, or if I could do anything. But a few things,
(1) Regarding the visual examples, I could post the PDF file generated with Latex and Context. Is there a way to do that on this list? I noticed another difference, which is that the line spacing is slightly more in the Context document (compared to that compiled with Latex). In latex I chose \singlespacing. In Context, I did not change the default spacing. Is the default spacing different than singlespacing?
ConTeXt has just other linedistances than LaTeX, that's all. You can switch to a smaller distance with \setupinterlinespace[small] or with \setupinterlinespace[line=14pt] (fixed distance) or \setupinterlinespace[line=2.4ex] (font dependend distance)
(2) I was going to ask about the math support. You mentioned that it would have to be added to the typescript. How difficult is that? Does anyone know the commands that can be used for adding such support.
I have a basic typescript for charter because I needed it in a document. \starttypescript [math] [charter] [name] \definefontsynonym [MathRoman] [Charter-Math-Letters-Regular] \definefontsynonym [MathItalic] [Charter-Math-Letters-Italic] \definefontsynonym [MathSymbol] [Charter-Math-Symbols-Regular] \definefontsynonym [MathExtension] [Charter-Math-Extension-Regular] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [math] [charter] [default] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Math-Letters-Regular] [mdbchr7m] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Math-Letters-Italic] [mdbchri7m] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Math-Symbols-Regular] [mdbchr7y] \definefontsynonym [Charter-Math-Extension-Regular] [mdbchr7v] \loadmapfile[mdbch.map] \stoptypescript Wolfgang
