you can use \setuptypescript[...], but best is to just use:
\setupbodyfont[ifa]
since the typescript mechanism is a layer on top of the more low level
traditional-texie font mechanism
so, you can have several typefaces alongside and switch between them; this is
one of the reasons that typefaces exist: they enable you to construct
combinations and use many of them in a document (mixed font families, math
styles, etc)
