That's because of

./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex:    \definefontsynonym [Charter-Roman]
      [name:CharterBT-Roman]        % or: [bchr8a]
./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex:    \definefontsynonym
[Charter-Italic]      [name:CharterBT-Italic]       % or: [bchri8a]
./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex:    \definefontsynonym [Charter-Bold]
      [name:CharterBT-Bold]         % or: [bchb8a]
./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex:    \definefontsynonym
[Charter-BoldItalic]  [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic]   % or: [bchbi8a]
./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex:    \definefontsynonym
[Charter-Slanted]     [name:CharterBT-Italic]       % or: [bchri8a]
./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex:    \definefontsynonym
[Charter-BoldSlanted] [name:CharterBT-BoldItalic]   % or: [bchbi8a]
./tex/context/base/type-otf.tex:    \definefontsynonym
[Charter-Roman-Caps]  [name:CharterBT-SmallCap]     % or: [bchrc8a]

The fonts are on
     http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/charter/
and I can add them, but there is still one problem.

Since fonts are defined this way, you would need to configure
fc-config to look for fonts in that directory in order to find the
font. Or one would need to change the definition.

Hans - what would be the implications for LuaTeX if
    name:CharterBT-Roman
was changed into
    file:bchr8a
? Not suggesting that yet, only asking.

The files are under
    http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-fnt.zip
Many of the files included there are obsolete now, that's why I didn't
include them at the first place. But this one is not. Quick fix: unzip
those files into texmf-local for example (or texmf, but you need to be
careful not to use the --delete switch then). Proper fix - Hans, Taco,
should I filter the useful files out of that zip and add them to the
minimals? Which ones?
