Ah, so I was a bit mislead by the wiki. Actually I hace this.
\usemodule[simplefonts][size=8pt]
\definefontfamily [myfamily][serif][TeX Gyre Termes]
\definefontfamily[myfamily][mono][LM Typewriter]
\definefontfamily[myfamily][sans][Avenir]
\setupbodyfont[myfamily]
You mean that I simply don’t need \usemodule[simplefonts][size=8pt]?
The \definefontfamily command is part of the core and you don’t have to load the simplefonts module.
PS. The monospace font for Latin Modern has the name “Latin Modern Mono”.

Hello Wolfgang,

according to [1] and Andrea's unanswered question:
...
You mean that I simply don’t need \usemodule[simplefonts][size=8pt]?
in which I'm very interested: How is fontswitching to other styles
(5pt,11pt,17.3pt or bold etc.) performed with \definefontfamily?
I.e. \switchtobodyfont[17.3pt] as in following example works, but is it
in the official context line? And a, b, c, x, xx no more?

\switchtobodyfont[17.3pt] and others will give me such messages:
"fonts           > defining > unable to define 'unknown' as 'mainface-17.3pt-rm-tf-0-a-0'"
therefore I think it's perhaps not the right command.

Btw, I'd wish really complete context examples in the manuals. They could spare some
of my "stupid" questions.
