To Hans: perhaps cont-lmt.zip should be put back to the page with
downloads? Perhaps even all font files present in the standalone
distribution? I think that many users were already asking for that.

Updating pdfTeX won't solve that concrete problem, but you might
encounter other problems. So - yes, you are warmly suggested to update
the whole distribution.

Read this carefully: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation

esp. the section with fonts. You have to install Latin Modern fonts:

It is, but you have to have some proper fonts installed.
Antykwa-torunska, iwona and kurier have cyrillic glyphs and ship with
minimal context distribution on Pragma's website. There are surely
many other fonts like cm-super, different postscript fonts, ...

It might be that you will have to add some font definitions first, but
I think that people are ready to help you with that.

I'm attaching an example for writing in Russian, but you'll have to
install proper fonts before you'll be able to compile the sample file
(http://www.janusz.nowacki.strefa.pl/torunska.html in that case). I'm
using that font just because I don't have any other cyrillich font
installed: you'll probably want to use some other font anyway. (Search
for file names *t2a*.tfm in your TeX tree.)
