Thank you so much to all of you who replied. I suppose that the commands of the
type

\usetypescript[name][ec]
\setupbodyfont[name,sizeorstyleifneeded]

that you suggested will also load the matching math fonts. I will also take a
look at the documents Mojca has referred to. As Aditya and Mojca suggested, it
would be great to have the fonts that are supported in Mathdesign...those are
beautiful.

Thanks again. I will try these definitions out and let you know if I run into
any trouble.
