Your typescript files seem to work (the difficult part of font
handling), but you should setup 'ifa' as your bodyfont.

\setupbodyfont[ifa,serif,12pt] % makes ifa the default font

Later on you can change the bodyfont using \switchtobodyfont[sans,10pt]
or whatever. This guarantees, that the interline spacing and the strut
height are also adapted.

Greetings, Peter
