Aditya, thanks very much for your reply. Is the default font in context, a
unicode font. The layout of my file is

\startenvironment Layout

\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\setuplayout[width=5.5in,height=10in,backspace=1.5in,topspace=0.5in,header=1.25in,footer=1.25in]

\setupwhitespace[medium]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupcolor[xwi]

\setupcaption[figure][headstyle=\tfx\bf,style=\tfx]
\setuphead[chapter][color=midnightblue,after=\vskip 2ex]
\setuphead[subject][color=midnightblue]
\setupitemize[stopper=),left=(]
\setupitemize[headstyle=bold]

definetextbackground[Quote]
[backgroundcolor=linen,
backgroundoffset=0.25cm,
frame=off,
location=paragraph,
before=\vskip 1ex\startnarrower,
after=\stopnarrower\vskip 2.5ex]

\def\Ex#1{{\bf Exercise #1}}
\def\Dfn#1{{\bf Definition #1}}
\def\bb#1{\blackboard{#1}}

\stopenvironment

I do NOT get bold with $ {\bf x} $ command. It is upright, but not bold.
Thanks for your help.
