some of the names, like ppl and so are there for backward compatibility
the best way to use fonts is to define a typeface, like:
\definetypeface [main] [rm] [serif] [palatino] [default] [encoding=texnansi]
so that you can say \setupbodyfont[main,10pt] etc etc
live would be simple if we only had one encoding, but it happens that 8r
texnansi ec il2 pl0 etc are used and some of them are in the tex
distributions, and some are not 9for all fonts);
the symbolic font names used are the official ones; [for commercial fonts,
for me it makes most sense to use original font and filenames, instead of
those incomprehensible <=8char ones]
