This is no problem because they have different names, you can try the following 
example:

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[Garamond]
%\setmainfont[Adobe Garamond Pro]
%\setmainfont[AGaramondPro]
%\setmainfont[EBGaramond]
%\setmainfont[Stempel Garamond]

\starttext
Regular, \it Italic, \bf Bold and \bi Bolditalic.
\stoptext
With

\setmainfont[AGaramondPro]

it works! The first and second does not work.


>Another interesting question: I compared the results using the Simplefont solution and your Typescript solution, both 
with hanging. Both works, but it is not the same output. It seems, that with Simplefont it is "nicer", in the 
following sence: The distance between a capital of a beginning word to the next letter it better typed, f.e. in "Hans 
Meier" the distance of "H" to "ans" could be too much in the typescript example, but is perfect 
with Simplefont.

Maybe a kerning issue, you can add \showfontkerns at the begin of your document 
to visualize the kerning.

\showfontkerns works with Simplefont, but not with Typescript. More precisely:

This shows kerning:
+++++++++++++
\showfontkerns

\usemodule[simplefonts]

\setmainfont[AGaramondPro][boldfont=AGaramondPro-Bold,

italicfont=AGaramondPro-Italic, bolditalicfont=AGaramondPro-BoldItalic,

protrusion=quality, expansion=quality]

\setupalign[hz, hanging]


\starttext

\input tufte

\stoptext

++++++++++++++


But this one not:

+++++++++++++

\showfontkerns

\starttypescript [serif] [nimbus]

\definefontsynonym [Serif] [file:AGaramondPro-Regular.otf]

\definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [file:AGaramondPro-Bold.otf]

\definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-Italic.otf]

\definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [file:AGaramondPro-BoldItalic.otf]

\stoptypescript


\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality,expansion=quality]

\definetypeface [nimbus] [rm] [serif] [nimbus] [default] [features=default]

\setupbodyfont[nimbus,rm,12pt]

\setupalign[hz,hanging]


\starttext

\input tufte

\stoptext
++++++++++++++++


Where the mistake?

And independent from that: That the kerning is different, is for sure (by visual inspection). How can the showing in numbers (showkerning) help to understand the reason for this difference? (Just interested to learn more about ConTeXt, of course I am not able to fix anything or understand it by myself).
