When I use format generated during first context installation, everything
works fine, means that context use plr by default. However this quite old
format contains only pl-hyphenation patterns.
For a couple of weeks I had been trying hard to generate format with
additional hyphenation patterns AND plr as default font. But each attempt
gave me a format which use cmr by default. Of course when I included i.e
plr10 definition in tex code or input some pl-oriented typescript,
everything was ok since I have correclty instaled and configured pl-fonts.
But default was still cmr, not plr.

I've just tried to generate format with additional option '--alone' (as in
your quick test) and that was the solution! Generated format uses the proper
default font now. Actually I didn't know that texexec uses 'fmtutil' by
default while generating formats (is there any special reason for that?...).
My problem shows that texexec (its self) is able to generate format in more
reliable way :)

Anyway Thank You Very Much For That Hint!
