thanks,
I converted it with fontforge to otf. Now I get

v...@shania:/opt/context> mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
--pattern=*dante*

dante         dante   DANTE.otf
dantenormal   dante   DANTE.otf

Is this the intended behaviour, that the afm files are now no
more listed? without the otf version the output is:

v...@shania:/opt/context> mtxrun --script fonts --list --all
--pattern=*dante*

dante         dante   dante.afm
dantenormal   dante   dante.afm
