I gave up once that I tried to follow because lcdftools which texfont uses don't work well on Windows.

You don't need lcdftools at all; in fact, I now avoid it for most installs. I find the easiest route is: 1. create an afm with "fontforge -c 'Open($1);Generate($2)' foo.otf foo.afm" 2. create a pl file with "afm2pl -p ENCODING.enc foo.afm ENCODING- foo.pl" (you'll need the file default.lig for this to work and modify it if need be); this step will also write an (incorrect) map file which you can edit; 3. pltotf ENCODING-foo.pl I prefer this approach because it's more transparent than lcdftools.

Is there a guide for installing Open Type fonts for use in Context?

I downloaded the guide and followed the directions carefully for the antykwa otf font, but as so often happens with texfont many of the generated fonts could not be found and kpathsea tried to create bitmaps instead.
