When “file:allerlt” doesn’t work your fonts have a different filename than mine.

What output on the command line do you get?

keima:TeX wolf$ mtxrun --script font --list --all aller*

aller                aller              /Users/wolf/Library/Fonts/Aller_Rg.ttf
allerbold            allerbold          /Users/wolf/Library/Fonts/Aller_Bd.ttf
allerbolditalic      allerbolditalic    /Users/wolf/Library/Fonts/Aller_BdIt.ttf
allerdisplay         allerdisplay       /Users/wolf/Library/Fonts/AllerDisplay.ttf
allerdisplaynormal   allerdisplay       /Users/wolf/Library/Fonts/AllerDisplay.ttf
alleritalic          alleritalic        /Users/wolf/Library/Fonts/Aller_It.ttf
allerlight           allerlight         /Users/wolf/Library/Fonts/Aller_Lt.ttf

\definefont and \definedfont don’t use the typescript but context’s database where all recognized fonts are listed.

A typescript is simple spoken a list where you specify which file should be used for the regular, italic or bold alternative and with a typescript file these settings are available as module which can be reused for different document without putting the code in each document, all you need is a referenced to the file.

Both versions I found are also in truetype format but it doesn’t matter which format the fonts have because context supports both and a truetype font can be also a opentype font.
