The 2nd column is the font name.
Tthe 3rd column is the font filename.

To what corresponds the 1st column ?

the (simplified) internal name that is used as lookup, only digits and 
lowercase letters; all requested names are simplified before a lookup

(reason: i don't want to remember upper/lowercase, not funny characters, 
not deal with the usual mess in font (file) names)

(1) >the (simplified) internal name that is used as lookup

 so these are names one can use in typescripts instead,
aka  [name:simplified-internal-name] ?

 (2) source: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Running_Mark_IV#Using_fonts

"Context Mark IV can use non-tex fonts (in OpenType, TrueType or Type1
format) directly"

What is meant by "directly" ?
