Ok, yes this works (for kerning and the standard ligatures). liga=no,
however does not disable ligatures. I had slight practical problem
with Type 1 fonts, in that the OSFONTDIR variables needs to be set
while running context. For TTF and OTF this appears only to be needed
while refreshing the cache. Since I am not yet familiar with
typescript I use \definefontfamily. Here I needed to set
\definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][Bembo][tf=Bembo,...] instead of just
\definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][Bembo]. Are there any other
features than apply to Type 1 fonts?

Have you got any pointer to such an example?
