Well, texexec --version returns 1.9. I'm using the version that comes
with Gentoo Linux.

I may well be missing something basic here -- I simply slapped your
\usetypescript commands at the beginning of my ConTeXt file (before
\starttext), and I get the following error messages:

! Undefined control sequence.
<recently read> \usetypescript

l.1 \usetypescript
                  [berry][ec]
! Undefined control sequence.
l.2 \usetypescript
                  [palatino][ec]
bodyfont       : unknown variant palatino

The commands were:

\usetypescript[berry][ec]
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]

Another thing that surprised me (not font-related) is that the \index
command gobbles up the following space, even when I use braces; i.e.

  Foobar, babar\index{indexentry} krangas

is typeset as

  Foobar, babarkrangas

Is this normal behaviour? Must I manually insert a space there?

OK.
