Dear Mojca,
obviously I have forgotten to add an important detail - the fonts I want to install are TrueType fonts. My bad and apologies!
For installing ttf I've used http://tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/schmitz/schmitz.pdf (also mentioned in wiki) so far, and it worked every time.
Best, Michelle

Dear list,
currently I work on a customized Docker container based on Ubuntu 16.04 where I run ConTeXt standalone. To install ConTeXt, I use the approach described in the wiki:
RUN wget http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh &&\ sh ./first-setup.sh --modules=all
After setting ConTeXt root everything works fine and as expected. However, the texfont tool seems to be missing which means I cannot install new fonts in my container.
Nowadays texfont is the wrong tool to use. It doesn't actually install fonts, it merely converts them from, say, Type 1, to a zillion of 8-bit files (meaning that you won't even be able to use more than a couple accented characters in that font). This was useful before TeX supported OpenType fonts, but is a complete waste of time and resources to go through that painful route nowadays. You can just copy your own OpenType font files to, say, texmf-fonts/data (and probably update the font database after that with mtxrun).
