ConTeXt looks for system fonts only on Windows and Mac OS X (the paths are set 
in data-res.lua),
for others system you need the OSFONTDIR variable. When you want the same 
feature on Linux Hans
has to know where system fonts are stored and if these directories are the same 
on each distribution.
On Ubuntu Intrepid that would be /usr/share/fonts for the fonts shipped with the distribution, or installed via the repositories, and $HOME/.fonts for user-installed fonts. Some distributions may use /usr/local/share/fonts, but I haven't tried that on Intrepid.

BTW, if you want Context to find _both_ directories make sure you set your OSFONTDIR in setuptex like this:

export OSFONTDIR="$HOME/.fonts;/usr/share/fonts"

You have to use the semicolon instead of a colon, and don't forget the parentheses (found that in an old post by Khaled Hosny).
