I never figured out the predefined font names either. You might try
searching the type-*.tex sources to see if anything looks likely. For
me, the names never seemed to match what I had on my system.

Eventually I figured out (with much help) how to make my own typescripts
and the heavens opened. It is easy to do if you have the font files you
want and know what's in them. (Which are bold, italtic, etc). I like
having control over the font definitions; much of the mystery is
eliminated.

Look at my page: http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html,
particularly the section "Font Selection - Using Typescripts". Shout if
you need help.
