Yes, but still no bold or italics. Maybe there is something wrong  
with my definitions.

[code]
\defineunicodefont [MySwitch] [mylinostar] % [command= 
\insertunicodeglyph]

\loadmapfile[palatinolinostar_01xx-starling-linostar]
\definefontsynonym [mylinostarRegular01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- 
PalatinoLinoStar]
\definefontsynonym [mylinostarBold01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- 
PalatinoLinoStarBold]
\definefontsynonym [mylinostarItalic01] [palatinolinostar_01xx- 
PalatinoLinoStarItalic]

\starttext
{\MySwitch \uchar{1}{1}} \\
{\MySwitch \it \uchar{1}{1}} \\
{\MySwitch \bf \uchar{1}{1}}  \\

\stoptext

[/code]

I have installed the font without errors with TeXfont.

What do you mean by defaultcase?

I see what you mean. The font-uni.tex is an impressive piece of coding.
