With this:

\setupbodyfont[ppl,12pt]  
\starttext
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
\stoptext

I get errors.  I am using Fedora Core 2 with teTex 2.02.  The error messages follow this message.

I also tried:

\usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

without any luck.

Someone suggsted that I use the actual font names.  So I tried:

\setupbodyfont[uplr8a,12pt]

and it generated an error message something like: 
"bodyfont       : unknown variant uplr8a"



Here are the error messages using [ppl,12pt]:
