Hi David,

this sample (slightly modified from the one Hraban posted before) works
fine with latest beta from 2015.04.08 14:19 (and stable version from
2014.01.03 00:40):

\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][FreeSerif]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]

% Enables index in PDF document
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupinteractionscreen[option=bookmark]
\placebookmarks[section][force=yes]

% Let us say hello in many languages
\starttext
    \setupfooter [state=start]
    \page[1]
    \startfrontmatter
        {\midaligned {\tfc{\WORD{Hello World}}}}
        \placecontent[extras={22=page},alternative=c]
    \stopfrontmatter
    \page[yes]
    \startbodymatter
        \section{1. Russian: Привет мир!} Russian: Привет мир! \\
        \section{2. Punjabi: ਸਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਦੁਨਿਆ!} Punjabi: ਸਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ
ਦੁਨਿਆ! \\
        \section{3. Arabic: مرحبا أيها العالم!} Arabic: مرحبا أيها
العالم! \\
        \section{4. Hebrew: שלום העולם!} Hebrew: שלום העולם! \\
        \section{5. Armenian: Բարեւ աշխարհ!} Armenian: Բարեւ աշխարհ! \\
    \stopbodymatter
\stoptext

The FreeSerif font is available from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freefont/.

I hope it helps,


Pablo
