I downloaded the Google free font ‘Vollkorn’ 
(https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Vollkorn) into an appropriate directory and 
ran 
 mtxrun --script font --reload 
all went well, and the Vollkorn truetype fonts show up in the output of mtxrun 
--script font --list --all   .

However, the following input:

\starttext
\definedfont[name:vollkornregular*default at 14pt]
\input tufte
\stoptext

fails, with the following output:
system       > ConTeXt  ver: 2020.03.10 14:44 MKIV beta  fmt: 2020.6.8  int:

fonts           > otf loading > loading

fonts           > defining > font with asked name 'Vollkorn-Regular' is not 
found using lookup 'name'
fonts           > defining > unknown font 'Vollkorn-Regular', loading aborted

This is on Mac OSX.   I don't recall this problem coming up before.  Evidently 
the difficulty is that it is expecting an otf font and is confounded by the 
truetype file.   

The ConTeXt font system always bewilders me, but this time it's pretty 
specific.  Help?
