Installing custom fonts?

Hello List,

I'm also part of the design group Open Source Publishing (like Femke who ask
about same entry to multiple registers a month ago). Our book is building,
and it's now time to add our own custom open fonts. Quite new in the TeX
field, and having traveled a bit through LaTex and Xetex, I couln't figure
how to make it work. I guess that the TeX way of doing it is to write a map
file, but maybe is it possible to avoid it, like with the Xetex shortcut?

I'm using texexec or texexec --xtx to compile my files (without problems) on
Ubuntu Gutsy. I'm also able to use the font in other software, Inkscape by
example.

But when I add this code :

\definetypeface[InitiationRitualFont][rm][Xserif][Initiated]
\setupbodyfont[InitiationRitualFont, 12pt]
\starttext
Hello List!
\stoptext

I've this error returned :

! Font \*InitiationRitualFont12ptrmtfrm*:='"mapping=tex-text at 12.0pt"' not
lo
adable: installed font not found.

                  \relax
\xxdododefinefont ...tspec {#4}\newfontidentifier
                                                 \let
\localrelativefontsiz...
\fontstrategy ...me \fontclass #2#3#4#5\endcsname
                                                 \tryingfontfalse \fi
<inserted text> ...yle \fontalternative \fontsize
                                                 \fi \iftryingfont

\synchronizefont ...strategy \the \fontstrategies
                                                 \relax \fi \iftryingfont
\...
<argument> \getvalue {\@style@ \fontstyle }
                                          \edef \fontstyle {\fontstyle
}\if...
...
l.2 \setupbodyfont[InitiationRitualFont, 12pt]

I've tried with :
- different names
- different places
- with or without the extension in the name
- with ttf or otf version of the font
- with other fonts

But maybe the problem is elsewhere and I clearly not well understand the
intrications Context - Xetex - pdftex - TeX - texexec... I've search in the
mailinglist archive and in the Wikigarden... Maybe to use something
different than texexec?

Many thanks.
