Sure, mkiv :) I just tried to use gyre fonts, but cannot figure out what typescripts to use. %(

The only thing that works for me is
\usetypescriptfile[type-otf]
\usetypescript[times]
\setupbodyfont[times,16pt]

which gives me Termes, but i cannot make use of other gyre fonts (schola, etc) using typescrips provided. What commands should I write?

Byt the way, did you consider to change 'default' font from LM to some really modern, eg Termes?

best, Vyatcheslav

no. also, times is even older than lm -)

i'd like to default to optima nova or palatino nova but that's no option 
for most users either because these are commercial fonts

The fonts without math counterparts don't have the whole typescript
defined (or at least not yet). You can use the following command:

\definetypeface[schola][rm][serif][schola][default]
\setupbodyfont[schola,16pt]

This will only change the serif font to Schola. \usetypescript[times]
also changes sans to Heros and typewriter to Cursor.

And no, the default won't be changed to times. Maybe Cyrillic is
missing in LM, but Termes doesn't provide the full Unicode set either.

All gyre fonts should now usable in MkIV, can you test them
and add a note the wiki?

What does it mean "to be usable" in this context?  How do I enable them?

\usetypescript[termes]
\setupbodyfont[termes]

\starttext
...
\stoptext

and the same for all other TeX Gyre fonts.
