Having recently fought with the same issue (i.e. \setupbodyfont[pos]) with
my recent installation of TeXLive, I found one answer in the user settings
- this might be what you are looking for (don't understand enough of fonts
to say for sure).


The TeXLive cont-sys.rme/cont-sys.tex settings file says:

% If you run into missing font metrics kind of problems,
% you may want to uncomment:

% \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding]


Well, I don't expect my users to understand about changing the
cont-sys.rme/cont-sys.tex file, so the settings need to be in the
file/environment and thus I  put this on top of my file instead (I
use ec encoding, seems to work best with Windows):

	\usetypescript[adobekb][ec]
	\usetypescript[pos] % maybe I don't need this line any more???
	\setupbodyfont[pos,10pt]


And it works like a charm, at least with my files. All complaints stopped
at once, which made me *very* happy. Looks like I can soon provide my
dummy users with something easily installable that doesn't need any
tweaking...


Hope this helps,
