Hello Idris,
there are some good pages on the wiki about this subject.

I don't know, if the option method is the best way to realize your
\globalbodyfont command. I would do it as simple as this:
\def\globalbodyfont[#1][#2][#3]{%
  \usetypescriptfile[#1]
  \usetypescript[#2]
  \setupbodyfont[#3]}

I my opinion, the \globalbodyfont command is not that much better for the
end-user, than the other 3 commands. I would rather make an
environment-file:
\startenvironment e-garamond
\usetypescriptfile[type-ugm]
\usetypescript[URWGaramond]
\setupbodyfont[urwgaramond]
\stopenvironment
And then just "\environment e-garamond" in the document-file.

Cheers, Peter
