To suit your needs i've added:
\def\italicsequence#1#2%
{\ifx\fontalternative\c!sl#1\else
\ifx\fontalternative\c!it#1\else
\ifx\fontalternative\c!bs#1\else
\ifx\fontalternative\c!bi#1\else#2\fi\fi\fi\fi}
\def\symbolicscaledfont#1#2%
{\scaledfont\fontbody
\scaledfont#1\scaledfont
\font\definedfont\truefontname{\glyphfontfile{#2}} at
\currentfontbodyscale\scaledfont
\definedfont}
\def\symbolicfont
{\symbolicscaledfont\plusone}
\unexpanded\def\getscaledglyph#1#2#3%
{{\symbolicscaledfont{#1}{#2}\doifnumberelse{#3}\char\donothing#3}}
\def\Context
{\dontleavehmode{C\kern -.0667em\getscaledglyph{.8}\empty{O\kern
-.0667emN\kern
-.0549emT\italicsequence{\kern-.1em}{\kern-.1667em}\lower.5ex\hbox
{E}\italicsequence\empty{\kern-.11em}X\kern-.055emT}}}
This one adapts itself to sizes and styles and ...
{\Context \Context \sl \Context \bid\Context}
(maybe some values will change)
