Thanks a lot everybody !
Thank you all for the clarifying information! The problem has been
solved using the command recommended by Pablo. All my attempts to clear
the Windows font cache have failed, except for this one:
mtxrun --script cache --erase && mtxrun --generate
I started by copying the fonts into the \texmf-fontes\data\ directory,
then I emptied the cache. Then, the following command:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=didot --all
works and correctly returns otf and ttf theano and gfs fonts.
And thanks to Andres : your MWE compiles perfectly !
Now, I must confess that I don't know why installing new fonts in
c:\windows\fonts, even after laboriously purging the Windows font cache
and reloading the CTX font cache, didn't have the expected effects ...

I did a test with Windows 10.
Installed a fresh copy from the garden, Got the GFS Didot font from
Google Fonts, and installed it system-wide (C:\Windows\fonts). After
that, I ran
mtxrun --script fonts --reload
Then tried the pattern suggested but did not work. However, then I
tried a pattern without asterisks:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=didot --all
This returned the font:
C:\griego>mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=didot --all
identifier familyname fontname filename
subfont instances
gfsdidot gfsdidot gfsdidotregular
c:/windows/fonts/GFSDidot-Regular.ttf
gfsdidotnormal gfsdidot gfsdidotregular
c:/windows/fonts/GFSDidot-Regular.ttf
gfsdidotregular gfsdidot gfsdidotregular
c:/windows/fonts/GFSDidot-Regular.ttf
theanodidot theanodidot theanodidotregular
c:/windows/fonts/TheanoDidot-Regular.ttf
theanodidotnormal theanodidot theanodidotregular
c:/windows/fonts/TheanoDidot-Regular.ttf
theanodidotregular theanodidot theanodidotregular
c:/windows/fonts/TheanoDidot-Regular.ttf
trying to render Pablo's example didn't work at first, but after i
called the fonts with the name returned by mtxrun:
\mainlanguage[agr]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][gfsdidot]
\definefontfamily[mainface][ss][theanodidot]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
GFS Didot:
\doloopoverlist{\tf, \it, \bf, \bi}
{\recursestring\input aristotle-grc\par}
\ss
Theano Didot:
\input aristotle-grc
\stoptext
Everything compiles correctly, and the font is used. Since it's only a
single font file with no variants, you don´t get italics, bold etc.
But the font is being used.
