Answer to Ed C, 

(I'm behind firewalls so mailing is a pain now) 

According to the pdf specs one could use whatever font in forms.

Context does build the right datastructures, like encodings and
so, but testing this only worked ok with the 15 standard fonts
(bug in viewers). In principle pdftex + context can do it. 

For the moment, context obeys font settings as much as
possible,
so setting the 'style' for a field to for instance \ss works,
\bfd works, etc etc. It chooses the right style (roman or sans
or mono / normal or slanted or ...).
