Right. I can use \em.

But my workflow of using ConTeXt is typesetting already finished 
books (.doc-files). And so I would like to change the "text" as 
little as possible and instead use an suitable set of typescript and 
setup environment.

That's why I thought I'd need a mysans (or \myrm) defined in the 
typescript to be used in Taco's full-blown bodyfont switch as 
described above:

    \def\SectionStyle{%
      \switchtobodyfont[myrm,20pt]
      \setupinterlinespace[line=30pt]
    }



In fact, this is something I would like to have also for other 
purposes (for example to use a second set of oldstyle figures): 
defining my own *myserif* or *mysans* that could be used then in a 
typescriptfile the same way as sans, serif and mono are used there.

But up to now I didn't manage it.

Somebody did and would like to share his/her knowledge?


Thank you,

Steffen
