If you install extra fonts and files, you should put them in

tex/texmf-fonts
tex/texmf-project

as these are left untouched. That has always been the recommendation. 
The other trees will be synchronized in an update and that also includes 
deleting obsolete files.

you can put the fonts in

tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data/someplace

and run

mtxrun --generate

and then try the selectfont command

If you are using MkII (that is: if you are running "texexec"), you should use
    \enableregime[utf-8]

If you use LuaTeX, there's no need to enable UTF-8. It's already the default.

I'm sorry to hear that.

The idea is to install fonts to
    texmf-local
or
    texmf-fonts
or
    texmf-project
or somewhere else. But the files get removed from "texmf",
"texmf-context", "texmf-modules" etc.

I'm sorry that that wasn't clear (or maybe not even mentioned) in the
documentation.

A "non-beta" version of LuaTeX doesn't exist.

The documentation is from 2005 as the URL suggests. So no, it's not
up-to-date. Use LuaTeX instead and you can forget about dirty
workarounds to get the fonts to work.

This is all possible (it might require a bit of work to get everything
set up properly), but you should definitely switch to LuaTeX.

I guess the same applies to /tex/texmf-local?

And how is that with tex/texmf-modules? I am asking because there is also a modules directory:
    context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/modules 
It would be nice if I safely can put my modules there instead of burying them somewhere else in the trees.

If you put files under texmf-context, they will be removed
automatically with next update. You can install official modules with
"--modules=t-tikz" for example and those will stay. But if you want
your own unrelated modules, you should not use texmf-modules unless
you remove the "--delete" flag for rsync (but then you'll end up with
other obsolete files).

The trees texmf-local, texmf-fonts, texmf-projects are all fine.
