How do you define a standard font, the list of available differes with the used TeX distribution (TeX Live or context minimals) and your Openrating System.

I made a short document with a few fonts: http://d.pr/h5tE

Source:

\newcounter\FontTestCounter

\define[1]\FontTest
  {\increment\FontTestCounter
   \definetypeface[mainface-\FontTestCounter][rm][specserif][#1]
   \switchtobodyfont[mainface-\FontTestCounter]
   \title{#1}
   \startpacked
   ` Backtick\par
   ' Apostrophe\par
   ‘ Open curly quote\par
   ’ Close curly quote\par
   - hyphen\par
   – en dash\par
   — em dash
   \stoppacked
   \blank
   “Quote” and „quote“ and «more quotes»}

\starttext
\FontTest{Aller}
…
\stoptext
