Idris ...  great... my garamond is working now.
A couple of things ... for a real novice like me... you need to tell where the
type-* file should be located, and whether we need to do a texhash after
moving the type-* file.

Dear syndicate,
[Garamond is a nice font. Now that there is a free version, this would be a
nice default font to add to the next ConTeXt distribution. In the meantime:]
How to cook Garamond (my apologies to the experts for the verbosity):
1. Download
ftp://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/urw/garamond.zip (actually, you only
need the pfb and afm files, unless your texfont does not work);
2. place ONLY the afm and pfb files in an empty temporary directory;
3. from /temp>, run
texfont --ma --in --ve=urw --co=garamond --show
you may verify the installation of your font by examining
texnansi-urw-garamond.pdf.
4. If texfont does not work, you will have to do more work-> the zip package
contains tfms etc, and here is a map file you will need:
=============texnansi-urw-garamond.map==============
% You need to add the following line to pdftex.cfg:
%
%   map +texnansi-urw-garamond.map
%
% Alternatively in your TeX source you can say:
%
%   \pdf    {+texnansi-urw-garamond.map}
%
% In ConTeXt you can best use:
%
%   \loadmapfile[texnansi-urw-garamond.map]
texnansi-raw-ugmm8a GaramondNo8-Med 4 < ugmm8a.pfb texnansi.enc
texnansi-raw-ugmmi8a GaramondNo8-MedIta 4 < ugmmi8a.pfb texnansi.enc
texnansi-raw-ugmr8a GaramondNo8-Reg 4 < ugmr8a.pfb texnansi.enc
texnansi-raw-ugmri8a GaramondNo8-Ita 4 < ugmri8a.pfb texnansi.enc
=========================================================
If texfont works, ignore step 4;
5. Now write to file the following typescript:
==========================type-ugm.tex======================
% raw fonts
\starttypescript[serif]               [garamond] [texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[Garamond]          [ugmr8a]   [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[GaramondItalic]    [ugmri8a]  [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[GaramondBold]      [ugmm8a]   [encoding=texnansi]
\definefontsynonym[GaramondBoldItalic][ugmmi8a]  [encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript

\stoptypescript%
% typefaces
\starttypescript [URWGaramond]
\definebodyfontenvironment

\definetypeface [urwgaramond]
[ss] [sans] [helvetica] [default]

\definetypeface [urwgaramond]
[mm] [math] [palatino] [default]
[encoding=texnansi]
\definetypeface [urwgaramond]
[tt] [mono] [modern] [default]
[encoding=texnansi]
\stoptypescript
===========================
If there are better/more aesthetic choices for sans and math, let me know-)
6. Test it out:
===========================
% output=pdf interface=en
\starttext
\usetypescriptfile[type-ugm]
\usetypescript[URWGaramond]
%\setupbodyfont[urwgaramond,12pt]
\definetypeface  [garamond][rm][serif][garamond][default][encoding=texnansi]
\switchtotypeface[garamond]
\input knuth
\stoptext
===========================
You try \setupbodyfont instead of \definetypeface.
Have fun with Garamond!
Best
