Ok, as I'd really like to teach ConTeXt with font switching :)
I repost here a real important question IMHO, solemnly promising to
wikify the answer:
Could anyone comment this famous piece of code?

You only need the second command. cd is not needed. Once you issue
. /Applications/CM/tex/setuptex /Applications/CM/tex
you should be able to run both
mtxrun --script font --reload
mtxrun --script font --list
Maybe try to run

Just make sure that you don't loose those files after accidental
upgrade.

I don't even know what a .dfont is :-/
It's a file that packs several font files (usually the four basic
ones) into one. I don't know the details of the format, but I expect
that it really only contains the font file, with a few headers.
Fontforge has known how to handle it for years, so it

I'm not sure, but .dfont looks like AAT format and no extension like
Mac-specific way of storing Type 1. Both doable, but someone needs to
do that.
You can run fondu on .dfont files and then use the resulting files

That's right; use fondu. Fontforge can read a .dfont (data fork
resource) but it cannot specify something within that to load without
user input.
The only files that use .dfont are from Apple for Apple. The Mac knows
what is basically coded into these files and works with them
accordingly. That

This first bit differentiates a backend that refers to your font and a
frontend that you normally work with. Why?
Macros, macros, macros. Let's put it this way: You could have a myriad
of styles. That's what many in the WYSIWYG world do. Then ... they have
to keep track of them all.
