but why do I have no problems to use:

\usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding]
\setupencoding[default=texnansi]

\setupbodyfont[postscript,10.75pt]

\starttext

\rm\input knuth\par
\it\input knuth\par
\bf\input knuth\par
\bi\input knuth

\stoptext


Is it "only" a problem of third-party-fonts? Or ConTeXt documents  
typeset with XeTeX?
