The \font method let you use your font only in the style and size
you set with the setting but nothing else. ConTeXt's system creates
commands to let you switch the style (italic, bold ...) and the size
(\tfx, \tfa ...) and you can use them to create new styles certain
elements like header. With \setupbodyfont you take also care to have
the same font for header/footertexts, footnotes etc.

To summarize this, don't use \font unless you really know what you do
and even then use ConTeXt's \definefont command.
