Hi Peter,

Provided that you use a recent CONTEXT, everything should be there. Get 
the fonts from CTAN or from the TEXlive Collection (directory is outside 
the texmf-tree).
Within CONTEXT:

\usetypescript[modern][texnansi] %or whatever you like
\setupbodyfont[modern,rms,11pt]

I stand corrected, but because of the matching mechanism, you will get 
CMR if the Latin Modern fonts are not available - Check the pdf file's 
font properties

Kind regards

Willi
