So I loaded the typescript files ie type-xxx stated in the chapter in turns no matter the type-xxx I load. I always got this in the log:

looks like you combine some mkii examples (xtx is a mkii xetex file, and 
there is no gyr) with mkiv

Here is a simple way:

\definefontfeature[default]  [boldened-30]
\definefontfeature[mathextra][boldened-20]

\setupbodyfont[pagella]

\startTEXpage
     test test $t e s t$ test
\stopTEXpage

the boldened-10/15/20/25/30 are predefined effects but you can roll out 
your own if needed
