And when I read the chapter in the Manual or whatever I can find, I read a lot about Typescripts and unterstand absolutely nothing. I find how to make a typescript for palatino, which makes no difference, but I don’t unterstand why I shall make a typescript and how.

The context suite provides the \definefontfamily command which let you select a font (the name of the font goes into the third argument) without the need to write a typescript. Below is a example where I used fonts from my ms office installation.
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [serif] [Cambria]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [sans] [Calibri]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [mono] [Consolas]
\definefontfamily [myfontcollection] [math] [Cambria Math]
\setupbodyfont[myfontcollection]
\starttext
{\rm\input ward }
{\ss\input ward }
{\tt\input ward }
\startformula
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
\stopformula
\stoptext
