Currently not :(

Use height=... for that.

There have been some attempts, but I don't remember the outcome.

Fontspec is written for (Xe)LaTeX only (admittedly, it has some more
advanced features in comparison to ConTeXt mechanisms), but both XeTeX
and LuaTeX should nevertheless work OK with ConTeXt with no special
package or module.

Blame me for not updating the "Fonts in XeTeX" page on Wiki.

There is also a ConTeXt meeting in August (Easyjet flies from Stansted
almost directly to the conference site), so if you want some more fun
next to the lake in the middle of Alps, in a small country that you
have probably never visited before, you're more than welcome to come.
