You get that sort of message when pdftex cannot find the type1 files and
it tries to fall back and generate bitmap fonts (which don't exist
either).

I haven't been through your setup, but try this just as an experiment.
It will determine if the map file is correct. Create a job with nothing
but these lines:

%****
\font\testRoman=tnr2
\font\testItalic=tnri2
\font\testItalicUpright=tnru2
\font\testRomanSlant=tnro2

\testRoman This is roman.
\testItalic This is italic.
\testItalicUpright This is italic upright.
\testRomanSlant This is roman slant.
%****

Does it run and produce the output you would expect?

PS - I'm curious about lines such as these:

> \definefontsynonym [SerifCapsI]                       [tnrexpi]
> \definefontsynonym [OldStyleIt] [Times-RomanSCItalic]

These indicate that ConTeXt would know how to do variants such as
small-caps-italic and old-stype-italic, which I did not think was
possible. I do not see any references in the source. Did it ever work?
