My only experience is with Type1 fonts and pdftex, but I have found this to be true: (1) If the pfb file is under the type1 tree, and... (2) if the tfm file is under the tfm tree, and... (3) if both of those files are listed on the same line in pdftex.map (or other configurable resource), and... (4) if the filename database has been refreshed with texhash or mktexlsr since any new files were introduced, and... (5) if all of the above files can be found with the kpsewhich utility... ...it should work. If the fonts are found but some effects are missing (small caps, old-style figures, etc) then some ConTeXt definitions need to be adjusted. -Bill
