Hi Mohammad,
the simplefonts module has been deprecated, since it has been
implemented in the ConTeXt core (see below).
\definefontfallback might be the command you are looking for.

The new commands are \definefallbackfamily and \definefontfamily.
A sample document, in case it might help (GFS Heraklit at
https://greekfontsociety-gfs.gr/_assets/fonts/GFS_Heraklit.zip):
\definefallbackfamily
[mainface]
[rm]
[GFS Heraklit]
[preset=range:greek,
force=yes]
\definefontfamily
[mainface]
[rm]
[TeX Gyre Pagella]
\setupbodyfont
[mainface]
\starttext
\agr\input aristotle-grc
\de\input aesop-de
\stoptext
Sorry, but unless you provide a minimal sample, it isn’t easy to guess
what you might have in mind.
I’m afraid that I’m not sure whether the following sample contains your
“arbitrary styles”.
\setupinteractionscreen[option=max]
\definefontfamily
[mainface]
[rm]
[TeX Gyre Pagella]
[it={TeX Gyre Cursor-Italic},
bf={TeX Gyre Adventor-Bold},
bi={TeX Gyre Termes-BoldItalic}]
\setupbodyfontenvironment
[default]
[em=italic]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
Roman font {\em & italic}
{\bf Bold font \em & bold italic}
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
Feel free to explain what your needs are.
I hope it helps,
Pablo
