That's clear to me, but my question was about the wrong correspondence
between font names and filename.
As I wrote mtxrun --script fonts --lists showed filenames which I
didn't find anywhere, so I thought mtxrun rewrote them.
Repeating the same procedure under FreeBSD all goes right.
Perhaps in my Ubuntu system there is more than one Times New Roman,
Arial..., (even I don't know where they live) and this confused
ConTeXt.
Next time I boot Ubuntu, I'll search in the whole filesystem.
Thanks for the answer and sorry for the noise.
