Nearly every program that works on the shell, ehm, the command line,
"hates" spaces. Such paths must beincluded in quotes, and maybe
not every call in the perlscripts is qoted...
(On my Win laptop at work I use TeX Live in c:\daten\texmf...)

this tells ConTeXt to use ec (alias 8a?) encoded fonts as default;
you can try texnansi, 8r or some east european encs, if some special
chars (accented) doesn't show up.

> \usetypescript [berry] [ec]

(there should be a \usetypescriptfile[myfonts], if if weren't a standard set.)
this tell ConTeXt to use the Karl-Berry-names of some fonts (as in LaTeX etc.)
and again the ec encoded edition.
Normally ConTeXt uses the Hans-Hagen-naming-scheme for fonts ;-)
Normally you install fonts for ConTeXt with texfont.pl.
See instructions on Bill's page or sources on mine.

> \setupbodyfont[pos,10pt]

this tells ConTeXt to use the "pos" (PostScript standard) font family, that 
is, Times/Helvetica/Courier, at 10 pt body font size.
These font families are defined in typescripts in typescript files.
It looks complicated, but it's very comfortable, if you got it one time.

Grüßlis vom Hraban!
