I just updated by ConTeXt (ver: 2013.02.05 22:32 MKIV) and tried again.
*\definefont* works but

\definebodyfont
   [default]
   [tfH= cmr12 scaled 7000]

still does not work and also wipes out definitions for \tfa \tfx etc.
So

{\tfa 1}{\tf 1}{\tfx 1}

will just yield

111

Thank you,
Devendra

My MWE is:

\definebodyfont
  [default]
  [tfH=cmr12 scaled 7000]

\definefont
   [TitleFont]
   [Serif at 40pt]

\starttext
   {\tfH 1}{\tf 1}{\tfx 1}\\
   {\TitleFont 1. FooBar}
\stoptext
