Please disregardi this, and remove the two modules. Since it
seems the 'Missing symbol fonts' problem only happens with a
big document, try the usual 'divide and conquer method':
terminate your document right after the formula that gives
the error, and progressively comment out halves of the
preceding text until you manage to isolate the chunk of text
preceding the formula that generates the error.

Example: say that that from \starttext to \stoptext there
are 300 lines, and that the formula is at the last line.
Then you comment the first 150 lines and see if the error
occurs. If it doesn't happen, you uncomment the first 150
and comment the subsequent 150 (Except for the formula, of
course). This way you can tell which half causes the error.
In the uncommented half that causes the error you repeat the
process (75 lines at a time), then again and again until you
manage to focus around the shortest document that causes the
error.
