I now use the newest beta of context, i remade all formats, corrected my
file (missing , after etex).
I tried \sz{}, \sz\ , without success. only \kern worked.
Other two letter commands (\ae) work o.k.
My problem only shows with \setupbodyfont[pos,ber,ss] it works with [ss],
[lbr,ss] ...
Can this depend on my fontfiles for Helvetica?

Greetings

Lutz

P.S. new testfile:

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupbodyfont[pos,ber,ss]
\useencoding[win]
\starttext
gemäß Mitarbeiterstammblatt
\blank[big]
\startMPcode
verbatimtex
\setupbodyfont[pos,ber,ss]
\useencoding[win]
etex;
label(btex \strut gemä\ae{} gemä\sz{} Mitarb. etex, (0,0));
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

I fear so. The attached file is what I get. Maybe your font map [pdftex.map
or so] is not correct.

Here I use the ansi encoded helvetica. 

\setupoutput[pdftex]

\setupbodyfont[pos,ss]

\startMPenvironment
\setupbodyfont[pos,ss]
\stopMPenvironment

\starttext

gem\ae{} gem\"u\sz{} Mitarb

\blank[big]

\startMPcode
label(btex \strut gem\ae{} gem\"u\sz{} Mitarb. etex, (0,0));
\stopMPcode

\stoptext

see attached result
