I know all that. But I would like to make sure that person X (who
knows how to use ConTeXt, but nothing more) would be able to compile
files from a repository without having to install fonts or make any
local modifications of ConTeXt or TeX Live installation.

If fonts from a current folder can be used, I see no real reason for
why I would not be able to use fonts from some other folder as long as
I specify it.

Thanks,
    Mojca
