These two fonts are in /usr/share/fonts/OTF.
In that directory they are listed in fonts.dir.
I want to use simplefonts to use Minion as the base font.
I ran the various commands described in the Wiki page:
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Fonts_in_LuaTeX
and got the two fonts listed in the font database.
I put the following in my MKIV context file:
...
\usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module
\setmainfont[minionproregular] %
%\whitespace[line]
\usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure]
\setupalign[hanging]
\setupbodyfont[minionproregular,14pt]
...
Now I get a new error message:
-------------------------
mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value)
Any suggestions?

To use the fonts which are shipped with Adobe Reader you can use two different methods.
Method 1:
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Minion Pro][protrusion=quality]
\setupalign[hanging]
\starttext\showframe
\input tufte
\stoptext
Method 2:
\usetypescriptfile[type-adobe]
\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]
\setupbodyfont[minion]
\setupalign[hanging]
\starttext\showframe
\input tufte
\stoptext

Please note that the path to the Adobe fonts must be included
in the environment. On my system, this works if I have:
export OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts;/usr/local/share/fonts;/usr/local/Adobe/Reader9/ENU/Adobe/Reader9/Resource/Font/"

hm, quite old but possible right.
Can you try
1)mkdir texmf-project/test
2)## copy Minion fonts onto texmf-project/test
3) cd texmf-project/test
4) mtxrun --script fonts --reload
5) mtxrun --generate
6) context test.tex
where test.tex is
\usemodule[simplefonts] % load the module
\setmainfont[minionproregular] %
%\whitespace[line]
\usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure]
\setupalign[hanging]
\starttext
\input knuth
\stoptext
in latest suite is ok.

Put that exact text in a file test.tex, ran
context test.tex
and got the same error message:
mtx-context.lua:675: attempt to call field 'locate_format' (a nil value)
This message cropped up after I ran some of the scripts in the wiki.
I seem to have messed something up in that process.
Unless I receive other directions here I am considering reinstalling
texlive-2011.

I strongly suggest to you to install latest suite (was standalone was
minimals ) into a separate dir
(ie /opt/luatex/suite-2011-09-29)
and eventually copy the fonts you need into that folder.
You can always use the TeXLive in a separate shell

Use “Minion Pro” (could also be lowercase and without spaces) but not “minionproregular” because simplefonts can’t then find the italic and bold styles.
> \usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure]
This is MkII, for MkIV overload the default set with “\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]”.

Now that works! The error message went away. The program compiles a pdf
file using the Minion Pro font. But the same test.tex program in the
parent directory came up with the same error. So long as I run context
etc. in that new directory, including my own document book.tex
I get good results. When I move to another directory the world goes
crazy again.
I am ready for your next instruction, Sensei Luigi :<)

not so soon -- it's dinner time here
anyway --- apart the notes from wolfgang, and assuming the suite aka
standalone aka minimals installation
you can
1) copy the minion font in
tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/adobe/minion
2) mtxrun --script fonts --reload
3) mtxrun --generate
4) try context test.tex in a folder without the fonts, just to check
that it's ok
The location can vary, but I like this one ; as Wolfgang said,
test.tex is a mix of mkiv and mkii and you should use
\setmainfont[minionpro]
instead of
\setmainfont[minionproregular] %
and
\definefontfeature[default][default][protrusion=quality]
instead of
\usetypescript[serif,sans][hanging][pure]

OK. Can you give me the url that points to the latest Context suite?
The offerings I see are dated 2010 etc. I run Slackware Linux 13.37.

Excellent. Now if there is a way to make Myriad the font of choice for
sans-serif I will be deliriously happy. And I promise not to bother the
list for a while.

An important note:
if you install you fonts under texmf-project
e.g
tex/texmf-project/fonts/adobe/minion
tex/texmf-project/fonts/adobe/myriad
then every time you update the suite, the fonts stay here.
If you put your fonts under
tex/texmf/fonts/opentype
i.e
tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/adobe/minion
as I suggested on a prev. email
then every time you update the suite, the fonts *will be deleted* .
This is because the way operate rsynch is to "synch" the folders but
not tex/texmf-project
On the other side, the locations are good if you will not update the
suite --- that to say,
if you have another project just download another suite .
So we can have for example
project1 => /opt/luatex/suite-2011-09-20-prj1
project2 => /opt/luatex/suite-2011-09-30-prj2
and so on
or
project1 => /opt/luatex/suite-2011-09-20/tex/texmf-project/prj1
project2 => /opt/luatex/suite-2011-09-20/tex/texmf-project/prj2

That woks fine so long as the fonts in play are located in the same
directory as the context source file. For future reference, how do I
get MKIV to find fonts that are in /usr/share/fonts?
I use Slackware Linux.
I have a recent context distro located in my home directory.
My run script is:
--------------------------------
source /home/safe/context/tex/setuptex /home/safe/context/tex
source /home/safe/context/tex/setuptex
context $1
--------------------------------------------------------------

Are you stating that I need a system-wide installation to get
MKIV to find fonts in /usr/share/fonts?

It should be enough to set OSFONTDIR or FONTCONFIG_PATH (which should
point to folder where your distribution has the fonts.conf file).

It's better to keep separate "system fonts" from ConTeXt.
Some fonts can be updated/moved when the system make an upgrade,
different OS have different font paths and so on.
Almost all of the time the better solution is to keep the fonts under
texmf-project:
you project will survive if you change Linux release/distro or pass to
Windows/MacOS.
