They are :)

\setupbodyfont [lmodern]
\setuppagenumbering [state=stop]

\definefont [bkgfont] [Mono at 240mm]

\setupbackgrounds [page] [background=bkg]

\definelayer [bkg]

\setlayerframed [bkg]
  [frame=off,
   height=50mm,
   width=\paperwidth,
   foregroundstyle=\ttx]
  {Some text}

\setlayerframed [bkg]
  [frame=off,
   width=\paperwidth,
   foregroundstyle=\bkgfont]
  {X}

\starttext\null
\stoptext


Since font loading is delayed until \starttext, you need to load a
font when you set up your layers.
