And, of course, a map file? Shouldn't DANTE launch a pet project and convert the font to OpenType? (That should be 10-60 minutes of work for somebody familiar with fonts.) But yes, as Hans replied, you need afm file. pdfTeX gets all the font metric data from tfm files, while ConTeXt MKIV prefers to be able to use more than 256 characters when they are available in Type1 font (it doesn't need or read enc, map, vf and tfm files).
