Thank you ... that was key information I didn't have.
I was instead downloading the TTF files from sil.org.

When you say "out of the box", I think you're referring to the
gentium-tug package box, not the ConTeXt box... in other words, I should
not expect Gentium to work just because I installed ConTeXt; I have to
also install gentium-tug, right?
If not, I must be doing something wrong because I can't find Gentium in
the luatex-cache font database.

Only because the latest instructions I could find said to use texfont,
which uses ttf2afm, which was missing and I thought it might come from
pdfTeX. I'm glad to know I don't have to, and I'll update that wiki page
accordingly.
Thanks again,
Lars
