I am trying to learn more about font switching (read the font manuals
but to no avail).
The thing I am trying to do is :
* For normal text I want to use the Times-Roman font
* For math's I want to use a different font, i.e. Computer Modern
I think I have to work with typescripts and use combinations of
\setupbodyfont but
I cannot work out the proper combination.
Thanks for any help
Regards
Wim

This should work:
\usetypescript[modern]
\usetypescript[times][ec]
\definetypeface[MyFace][rm][serif][times][default][encoding=ec]
\definetypeface[MyFace][mm][math][modern][default][encoding=ec]
\setupbodyfont[MyFace,12pt]
There's some interesting stuff on the wiki:

Hi Wim,
You can have a look into the files in the distribution beginning with
"type-". Most of the free fonts are already defined in those files....
\usetypescript[times][texnansi] ---> get times, this will result in
tx-fonts for math.
Otherwise define your own typeface:
\starttypescript[myfont][texnansi]
\definetypeface[Times-CMR][rm][serif][times][default][encoding=\typescripttwo]
\definetypeface[Times-CMR][ss][sans] [helvetica] [default]
[encoding=\typescripttwo,rscale=0.9]
\definetypeface [Times-CMR] [tt] [mono] [modern] [default]
[encoding=\typescripttwo,rscale=1.05]
\definetypeface [Times-CMR] [mm] [math] [modern] [default]
[encoding=\typescripttwo]
\stoptypescript
\usetypescript[myfont][texnansi]
\setupbodyfont[Times-CMR, rm, 12pt]
\starttext
This is Times, \fontname\font
\blank
$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$
{\switchtobodyfont[ss,16pt] it works}
\stoptext
Another source for getting into this is the context wiki:

Kind regards
