[NTG-context] ConTeXt + XeTeX + Adobe Bembo Std = ???

Bingo!  Thanks a million, Adam; that did the trick.

Aha!  That explains a lot.  Now I know how to define a variant with 
old-style figures:

\starttypescript[serif][bembo][uc]
   \definefontsynonym[BemboRegular]
     ["Bembo Std:mapping=tex-text"]
     [encoding=uc]
   ...
\stoptypescript
%
\starttypescript[serif][bembo-osf][uc]
   \definefontsynonym[BemboRegular]
     ["Bembo Std:mapping=tex-text;+onum"]
     [encoding=uc]
   ...
\stoptypescript
%
\starttypescript[serif][bembo,bembo-osf][name]
   \definefontsynonym[Serif][BemboRegular]
   ...
\stoptypescript
%
\starttypescript[bembo][uc]
   \definetypeface[bembo]
       [rm][serif][bembo][default][encoding=uc]
   \definetypeface[bembo-osf]
       [rm][serif][bembo-osf][default][encoding=uc]
\stoptypescript

I figured out bold italic, too ("Bembo Std-Bold Italic", not "Bembo 
Std-BoldItalic", d'oh!) and all is golden.  I suppose I should try to 
fix the typescript so it can be used with other encodings, but I'll 
leave that for another day.  For now, I'm just thrilled to be able to 
use my brand new shiny font.  ConTeXt + XeTeX + Adobe Bembo Std + 
helpful netizens = bliss.

Paul.
