By some grepping into the sources I found the problem. It seems
that the file type-pre.tex has changed between the versions I
have been using. Now there is the extra line:
\starttypescriptcollection[previous]
which seems to cause the problem of "unknown variant: pos". Without
knowing anything more, a simple "usetypescriptcollection" or
something similar would be my guess.
However, I am a bit afraid of the word "previous" and the comments
in the beginning of the file.
So, a question follows:
I want to make documents with Times/Helvetica/Courier
combination (as was done with "pos"). I do not have the
commercial fonts, but I do have the TeX Live (or teTeX)
distribution. What is the right way to get to use the
fonts?
I'm sorry but I do not like the Computer Modern in my reports and
brochures. I want to have something else, and that something
should be easy to use in any distribution.
TIA,
- Ville

The following works for me in the latest official Context (3-16-05):
============================================================
\starttext
\definetypeface [helvetica] [ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default] [encoding=ec]
\switchtotypeface [helvetica] [12pt,ss]
Helvetica
\input tufte.tex
\definetypeface [times] [rm] [serif] [times] [default] [encoding=ec]
\switchtotypeface [times] [14.4pt,rm]
Times
\input tufte.tex
\stoptext
============================================================
Best
