Congratulations!

You normally don't need texfont nor any other tools.

What version of ConTeXt (MarkII or MarkIV) and if MarkII, which engine  
(pdfTeX or XeTeX) do you use? On which OS?
What kind of fonts do you want to use (OPenType, TrueType, PS Type1 or  
other)?

Have a look at the wiki* and Wolfgang's simplefonts[2] module (to  
avoid the need to write typescripts).

(Might be more confusing that helping, though.)
