That is partially user's problem. The same can happen if user has
multiple tex files with the same name or multiple images with the same
name.
There are already commands:
- to look for tex files in some folder
- to look for images in some folder \setupexternalfigures[directory={...,...}]
which both work on document level (they only enable one extra folder
for that specific document, not for the global TeX/ConTeXt
installation)
Imagine a project which ships both tex sources and fonts together in
some SVN repository. It works perfectly fine if fonts are in the same
folder as TeX documents, but if one wants some structure and put fonts
in another folder, one has to install the font. There should be no
need for users to install exotic fonts if document author can specify
something like \setupfonts[directory=../fonts] on top of project file.
