Are you a DANTE member? Then have a look at my German translation of Taco’s article about installing fonts for ConTeXt in the latest DTK.
(The original is still unpublished – my fault, sorry guys...)
Try \showfont
or
\usemodule[fnt-10]
\starttext
\ShowCompleteFont{name:Unifraktur}{20pt}{1}
\stoptext
There aren’t a lot of good fraktur text fonts around, and most of those are commercial. (I don’t know and didn’t check if Linotype published their old Dfr fonts as OpenType at all.)
Unifraktur Maguntia is probably the best (technically) you can get.
Maybe try something from http://www.steffmann.de/wordpress/test-2/, but they don’t have any OpenType features.
Greetlings, Hraban
