Thanks Rik,
I’ll install standalone ConTeXt along TexLive then.
Is there any place I could find docs on \definecharacterspacing command please
? Could not find any occurrence on the Wiki.
Many thanks
Best regards
Joseph

Hello all,
Wondered if you could figure out what I did wrong with specifying the font.
Asked question on TexExchange.org already, with samples.

I use texlive 2015 on Windows 8.1
Many thanks,

First, some small changes to your example. Remove the enableregime directive;
ConTeXt MKIV, which you appear to be using, does not use this. It is from
ConTeXt MKII. Next, modify the definefontfeature and definefontfamily commands
as shown. (The default features for the font are in the file
type-imp-ebgaramond.mkiv.) That should be it to get started.
\language[fr] % french hyphenation
\definefontfeature[myfeatures][ss02=yes,cv01=yes,cv03=yes,ss05=yes,cv91=yes]
\definefontfamily[mainfont][serif][EBGaramond][features={default,myfeatures}]
\setupbodyfont[mainfont, 8pt]
\starttext

TL15 has problems with EBGaramond. The best you will get is:
With a more recent standalone version, you will get:
If you are setting older texts, you may also want to take advantage of
ConTeXt’s ability to automatically provide space before large punctuation
characters using the definecharacterspacing command.
One other note. Character variant 01 (cv01) is a very dull sword. The rules for
the use of long-ſ are much too complex for it to handle. For a good overview of
the issues, see Andrew West’s article in the TUGboat at
https://www.tug.org/TUGboat/tb32-1/tb100west.pdf. In my opinion you are better
off learning to insert it as needed in the text.
