See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX

Depends a bit on the actual fonts.
Usually it’s no problem to use system fonts.

You need to setup the variable OSFONTDIR as a path to your font directories, e.g.:

export OSFONTDIR="/System/Library/Fonts//:/Library/Fonts//:~/Library/Fonts//:~/Library/texmf/fonts//:~/FontExplorer\\ X/Font\\ Library//"

Put this in ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile (don’t know any more which is default).

Then reload the font database:

mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Try, if your desired font is already known, e.g.

\setupbodyfont[gentium,rm,10pt]

Or check if there is a typescript in the distribution (look for the font name in the source browser).

If not, then you should setup a typescript. I attached examples.

If that doesn’t help, ask with details.
