    var f = this.getField("TestField") ;
    if (f) {
        if (f.textFont == "Times-Roman") {
            f.textFont = "LMRoman12-Regular";
        } else {
            f.textFont = "Times-Roman";
        }
    }
\stopJScode

\starttext

\definefield[TestField][text] [TestGroup][][some example text]
\definefield[FontField][check][FontGroup][yes,no][no]

\definesymbol[yes][\strut YES]
\definesymbol[no] [\strut NO]

\setupfield[TestGroup][none][width=10cm]

\field[TestField]

\field[FontField]

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

\stoptext

The problem is that a subsetted font has no known name (prefix is 
random); however, when embedded full it does not work either ("Courier" 
does work).

Maybe there is special trickery needed to let acrobat know what fonts 
can be used. We may as well need some new pdftex code for this.

I cc to Hartmut who is the pdftex teams weird-font-issues wizzard.
