Me neither, but they look to be of good quality, but of lesser glyph
coverage (lacking AMS symbols) than the PX fonts. That said, the basic
three fonts are 99.8% glyph compatible with the existing PX support.

So here's really really _cheap_ support (no bold yet):

% add these two typescripts to your environment 
% before calling palatino math:

\starttypescript[map][palatino][all]
  \loadmapfile[pazo]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[math][palatino][default]
  \definefontsynonym[pxmi][zplmr7m]
  \definefontsynonym[pxr][zplmr7t]
  \definefontsynonym[pxex][zplmr7v]
  \definefontsynonym[pxsy][zplmr7y]
\stoptypescript

% then call your palatino family:
\usetypescript[adobekb][ec]
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]

% and run it thru some tests:
\starttext
\input knuth

\startformula
\theta\over\xi = {\os 2}\varphi
\stopformula

\startformula
\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{\sqrt{1\over{a+b}}}}}
\stopformula

\showmathcharacters
\stoptext
