That TTF should work as well. The only difference is that you might
need slightly different commands to set it up (there were recent
changes/improvements in that, other users should tell you how exactly
that can be done).

The font is installed by default when installing the ConTeXt
distribution. I thought it was also installed by default with the
ConTeXt scheme in TeX Live, but apparently I was wrong. I can fix
this. The scheme already contains a bunch of nice fonts and Gentium
could/probably should be among them.
