Ah, you like old systems! Ubuntu 14.04 and context 2013, what a wonderful combination, back in the days! texfont is still part of the distribution, but you will have to invoke it with its full path. I just tried (with a current standalone), and it still works as expected. I had to copy texnansi.enc into the working directory, and then I invoked perl ~/context/tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/perl/texfont.pl —fontroot=<> —ve=<> —co=<> --en=texnansi Try this (replacing the variables with your values, of course).

Update your ConTeXt, like Adam said already in http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/011890.html Hint 2. Don't install command-line programs in C:\Program Files. That space in the directory name tends to confuse them.

Re: [NTG-context] Font installation help
Font installation is not a trivial or newbie problem, and you're in the right place place to ask this question. However, both methods fail might not be precise enough as a description of what went wrong. If you're looking for other tutorials, Practex journal 2005 # 2 (http://www.tug.org/pracjourn/) has to articles about installing fonts for ConTeXt, one by Adam Lindsay (on Open Type fonts) and one by yours truly on Truetype fonts.
