In order of efficiency (most efficient on top):
\starttext
\ctxlua{tex.print(fonts.hashes.properties[font.current()].fullname)}
\ctxlua{tex.print(fonts.hashes.identifiers[font.current()].properties.fullname)}
\ctxlua{tex.print(font.getfont(font.current()).properties.fullname)}
\stoptext
the font.getfont returns the table that tex gets passed and in context
that table gets normalized, in the sense that variables are collected in
'properties' and 'parameters'
in general, don't use font.getfont() in context as in the worst case it
will rebuild a lua table at the tex
in the current beta you can run s-fnt-35.mkiv to see how this works
(this file will be renamed in a next beta)
