When you use \startcomponent etc. you can compile individual parts of your
document whig is faster when you want to check the content of them.

When you use a font in MkIV you have to specify which features of the
font should be enabled/disabled, to do this you define first a list
for them with the \definefontfeature command, e.g.
\definefontfeature[myfeatures][liga=yes,onum=yes,___]
For the main fonts in the document which are loaded with
\setupbodyfont these settings are applied in the typescripts, e.g.
\defintfontsynonym[Serif][MyRegularFont][features=myfeatures]
but when you load a single font with \definefont you apply
the list as argument to the font name after the asterisk.
When you want only a bigger version of the serif or sans version of
your document you can say \definefont[SansBold at 70bp] without
applying the list of features because the are already set in the
typescripts.

Is there a document or documents whare all this knowledge is

And the error messages indicate that MKIV cannot find those otf
files but they exist in /usr/share/fonts/OTF. The run completes
but other fonts and sizes are used for the title page.
