I have also done too much trial and error here!
My test file is

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
\showbodyfont[pos]
\stoptext

I think the the line
\usetypescript[berry][ec]
Is in cont-sys.tex as
\setupencoding [\s!default=ec]
and
\usetypescript [berry] [\defaultencoding]

I get the following errors and warnings
Missing character: There is no A in font ec-uhvro8a!
Missing character: There is no g in font ec-uhvro8a!
Missing character: There is no A in font ec-uhvro8a!
Missing character: There is no g in font ec-uhvro8a!
 [1.1{/sw/share/texmf.os/dvips/config/pdftex.map}
Warning: pdfetex (file Ttbbold.map): cannot open font map file

The pdf file is produced without \ss\sl and \ss\it characters

I have ec-uhvro8a.tfm and ec-uhvro8a.vf

I modify the test file to

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\definefontsynonym [ec-uhvro8a]                 [uhvro8t] [encoding=ec]
\starttext
\showbodyfont[pos]
\stoptext

And disaster sets in because uhvro8t.tfm is not found

Where did you get this file from?

Is your modification above the correct one?

>Btw, where is it specified that ec is the default encoding?
This is in my cont-sys.tex as shown above

I would actually really like

\showbodyfont[postscript]

To work since the characters are more equal in size and density I can make
them the size I want by adding the \definetypeface lines as shown below.

\setupoutput[pdftex]
\definetypeface[pos][ss][sans][helvetica][default][rscale=.9,encoding=ec]
\definetypeface[pos][tt][mono][courier]  [default][rscale=1.1,encoding=ec]
\starttext
\showbodyfont[pos]
\stoptext
