By inspecting type-otf.mkiv from texlive & context-minimals, I see that the latter is almost 4x bigger - probably it includes most of the interesting free fonts available. For now, it can be enough considering that atm we'll mostly write markdown/reST and convert to ConTeXt via pandoc, but later we'll go into final production and then there will be another question relevant - whether there are some affordable commercial quality fonts which could enhance the free collection and which cover extended Unicode range (we need to use Sanskrit diacritics that were created via TeX accent mechanism when we worked in old LaTeX).
