When you placed your fonts in the TeX directory (afm plus pfb files)  
regenerate the file database
with 'context --generate' to let ConTeXt know about the new files.

To see what the real names of the fonts is you can show the complete  
list on the terminal with
'mtxrun --script fonts --list', you can narrow down the list with  
names when you use a search
pattern what could e in your case something like 'mtxrun --script  
fonts --list --pattern=*stone*'

When you're font is not listed in the output from mtxrun update also  
the font database with
the command 'mtxrun --script font --regenrate'.

To use the fonts in your document you can write a typescript for them  
by hand [1] or use
the simplefonts module which offers a simpler method and does the hard  
work itself hidden
for the user.
