If you are using MkII (that is: if you are running "texexec"), you should use
    \enableregime[utf-8]

If you use LuaTeX, there's no need to enable UTF-8. It's already the default.

I'm sorry to hear that.

The idea is to install fonts to
    texmf-local
or
    texmf-fonts
or
    texmf-project
or somewhere else. But the files get removed from "texmf",
"texmf-context", "texmf-modules" etc.

I'm sorry that that wasn't clear (or maybe not even mentioned) in the
documentation.

A "non-beta" version of LuaTeX doesn't exist.

The documentation is from 2005 as the URL suggests. So no, it's not
up-to-date. Use LuaTeX instead and you can forget about dirty
workarounds to get the fonts to work.

This is all possible (it might require a bit of work to get everything
set up properly), but you should definitely switch to LuaTeX.
