Yes, so as I suspected, the accents presented a problem. The virtual euler didn't include them, and ConTeXt seems to depend on a sensible (math) roman being defined. I brought in Bitstream Charter as my (fake) MathBeta font to help out with those definitions. Charter and Euler seem to be very nicely matched in proportions and stroke weight.
concerning combinations, maybe make typescripts for them, so that we got nicely matching sets
Gladly. That makes the most sense. I believe Otared's example illustrates that CM is not the best match with Euler. Any suggestions beyond my beloved Charter? However, my use of Charter is before typescripts... it's to bring in accents that have a similar stroke width to Euler---even though CM is used to create the virtual font, CM's accents are far too spindly.
for relative scaling parameters, there are test macros like:
\showfontstrip
Again, thanks for the hint on when to use that command. It's very interesting to compare with my eye-driven guesses.
