> \switchtobodyfont[cmr,14.4pt]

Use \setupbodyfont[ber,pos,14.4pt] to switch to postscript fonts for
example.

And probably \setupbodyfont[cmr,14.4pt] to get the cmr fonts.

Use \setupoutput[pdftex]

If you place it in your local texmf directory in cont-sys.tex than you can
make it the default. You can also use texexec:

	texexec --output=pdftex test

texexec is the recommended way to compile your text.

Not sure what you mean here. Try using texexec. For inline mpgraphics you
might want to have \runMPgraphicstrue in your source or in cont-sys.tex, and
there should be a line in texmf.cnf saying

shell_escape = t

Groetjes,
