I'm having difficulty getting straight 0x0027 apostrophes to convert

In the following example, \quote{single quotes} generates curly
typographical single quotes, but the apostrophe comes out as a
straight apostrophe in the PDF output:

     \usetypescriptfile[type-lemonde]
     \usetypescript[lemonde-1]
     \setupbodyfont[lemonde,ss,11pt]
     \starttext
     Why don't the apostrophes show up as \quotation{curly}? The
     \quote{single quotes} and \quotation{double quotes} are fine\ldots{}
     \stoptext

The only way I can generate curly apostrophes is by placing 0x2019
characters into the source. However, when I comment out those first
three lines, the output displays a curly apostrophe fine in the default
font. Am I doing something wrong with how I've set up my typescript?

~/texmf/tex/context/user/type-lemonde.tex looks like this:

\starttypescript [serif] [lemonde]
     \definefontsynonym [LeMondeLivre-Roman]  [name:lemondelivrenormalosf]
     \definefontsynonym [LeMondeLivre-Bold]   [name:lemondelivreboldosf]
     \definefontsynonym [LeMondeLivre-Italic] [name:lemondelivreitalicosf]
     \definefontsynonym [Serif]               [LeMondeLivre-Roman]
     \definefontsynonym [SerifBold]           [LeMondeLivre-Bold]
     \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic]         [LeMondeLivre-Italic]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [sans] [lemonde]
     \definefontsynonym [LeMondeSans-Roman]   [name:lemondesansnormalosf]
     \definefontsynonym [LeMondeSans-Bold]    [name:lemondesansboldosf]
     \definefontsynonym [LeMondeSans-Italic]  [name:lemondesansitalicosf]
     \definefontsynonym [Sans]                [LeMondeSans-Roman]
     \definefontsynonym [SansBold]            [LeMondeSans-Bold]
     \definefontsynonym [SansItalic]          [LeMondeSans-Italic]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript [lemonde-1]
     \definetypeface [lemonde] [rm] [serif]    [lemonde]
     \definetypeface [lemonde] [ss] [sans]     [lemonde]
\stoptypescript


This is using MkIV, recently updated minimals.

search the wiki for 'features' ... you need to tell context what features to use for an opentype font

btw, the quote remapping is a old-time tex thing and should be avoided by either using proper unicodes or by using \quote and \quotation
