I knew I need an installer. :-(
I have downloaded the archive "t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip" from <http://modules.contextgarden.net/simplefonts
> and placed this zip file in the place "/usr/local/context/
2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local" and switched to the terminal:
---Terminal Output---
titus:~ jh$ su admin

bash-3.2$ cd /usr/local/context/2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local
bash-3.2$ ls

bash-3.2$ sudo unzip t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip

...
bash-3.2$ ls

source tex
bash-3.2$ sudo luatools --generate

.....
Then I tried a simple test file after using "luatool --generate" on
my non-admin account:
titus:wech jh$ luatool --generate
titus:wech jh$ context myriad.tex
...
...
/2009-06-11-beta/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv)))
system : myriad.top loaded
(myriad.top)

bodyfont : 12pt rm is loaded
language : language en is active
system : module simplefonts loaded
(/usr/local/context/2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local/tex/context/third/
simplefonts/t-simplefonts.tex

?
---Terminal Output---
Well, it seems that your instructions did basically work, since the
module simplefonts is loaded. But nevertheless the simple test file
aborts and complains about " Undefined control sequence. l.707
\startprocesscommacommand[\simplefonts!weight]".
Do you have an idea what went wrong on my side?
Yes. Although the module is found it crashes during initialization.
Observe that
---
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\starttext
This tests whether the module \type{t-simplefonts} is loaded
successfully.
\stoptext
---
already hangs. The reason is that the latest version of the t-
simplefonts module (which is the one you obtained) makes use of
ConTeXt kernel commands (\startprocesscommacommand) which seem to have
only been introduced lately. In other words, the version I packaged
into the experimental installer is too old for the current module. So
not your fault.
Keep in mind though that this might happen frequently without warning
since you're working with development code here. For the moment I'm
merely trying to establish something along the lines of a nightly
installer build ... since there's no regression test suite I can't
even test whether anything works but the most basic features. Also,
modules don't check for a minimum kernel version required :-(
Best,
Oliver
