there are s-math-*.mkiv files that can generate all kind of lists
you can run s-mkiv-repertoire.mkiv to get a comparison (at the end of
the file you can see how)
% list here (some 8 fonts) that you have on your system:
\showmathcharacterssetbodyfonts{lucidaot,cambria,xits,modern,pagella,termes,bonum,schola,dejavu}
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[pagella, 12pt]
\showmathfontrepertoire
\stoptext
you can click around (on a decent high res screen)
