the problem is that although the specs permit it (actually, this is why 
pdftex provides means to force characters in the file that are not typeset) 
i never managed to get it working (not even with the right vectors 
generated), so for the moment context only generates the full resources 
(conforming the  specs) for ss/tt/rm styles using the build in fonts 
(helvetica, courier, times). Context also tries to honor the field's style 
settings (like slanted, or bold).

Another problem with fields is the lack of a baseline concept in widgets (sigh)
