There are also LinoType, MonoType and ITC pack installed on my machine. So there are thousands and thousands fonts there. Without an automatic font selecting mechanism / script, it will be very difficulty to do that.
ConTeXt's font naming mechanism is very different with commercial fonts. digital fonts themselves have their own distinct naming conventions. For example, Frutiger's fonts use numbers to define the weight/style of the font family. Moreover, when company X release a font pack version N+1 and break/fix old font presentation/file names, then you will be very busy fixing those stuffs.
