This is the result of the broken TeXLive 2010 installation. It should have
worked out of the box before your failed update attempt. Try again with a
clean TeXLive 2010 or install minimals.
This is the second trap I fell into by following the instructions in the
manuals: all that rsync stuff jazzed up my TeXLive 2010 installation and I
had to reinstall. This bad advice is found on the "Running Mark IV" page on
the wiki. Of course, I wanted to run MkIV and ended up spending another hour
reinstalling TeXLive to get it back.
The last time I tried, context runs sucessfully out of the box in TL. You
only need to do the rsync stuff if you want the latest beta.
On my desktop machine I have both TeXLive (for Cygwin) and ConTeXt minimals
(for Windows) installed, my notebook has only TeXLive. I am no longer
tempted to update any of these, even if I prefer to stay current.
You should not have any troubles updating the minimals. You can consider
installing minimals on your notebook also (the install size is around
200MB).
As a newbie, I wanted to try out the Concrete Roman font ... but abandoned
that quest when it looked like I was going to have to tinker with the
internals again. I am now staying firmly on the "end user" side of the
ConTeXt fence.
Using the font should be as easy as
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setupmainfont[Concrete Roman]
