You can forget that procedure.
Just copy the fonts, you'll only need a few lines of code for defining
the typescripts (just ask for additional help if you need to get your
fonts working).

TrueType fonts are supported out of the box and should no longer need
that clumsy process.

I don't know texfont, but i'm using ConTeXt inside a (Debian-based)
Docker container; i put the fonts directly into the image, like this
(this is an excerpt of my Dockerfile):

---
ENV OSFONTDIR
/usr/share/fonts:/usr/local/share/fonts:/opt/context/tex/texmf/fonts
# copy fonts into the system fonts directories
COPY fonts/GaramondPremrPro*.otf /usr/share/fonts/opentype/
COPY fonts/MyriadPro*.otf/usr/share/fonts/opentype/
COPY fonts/Quivira.otf   /usr/share/fonts/opentype/
COPY fonts/GFSNeohellenic*.otf   /usr/share/fonts/opentype/
COPY fonts/FiraSans*.otf /usr/share/fonts/opentype/
COPY fonts/SILEOT*.ttf   /usr/share/fonts/truetype/


or:

/texmf-fonts/fonts/data


# a writable cache for ConTeXt,
# see http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Custom_Configuration
# (i don't know if this part is still needed)
RUN mkdir -p  /var/cache/context/texmf-cache
RUN chmod ugo+rwx /var/cache/context/texmf-cache
COPY texmf.cnf/opt/context/texmf.cnf
COPY texmf.cnf/opt/context/texmfcnf.lua
ENV TEXMFCACHE/var/cache/context/texmf-cache
ENV TEXMF /opt/context/tex/texmf-context
ENV TEXROOT   /opt/context/tex
---

The fonts you want to put in the image are in the "fonts" subdir of the
Dockerfile directory.
For "texmf.cnf" (if it's still needed), see the link in the ConTeXt
wiki.


not needed, we use texmfcnf.lua


Once you build the image and run the container, you find the fonts
already installed. At the first run, ConTeXt will store them in its
cache.

You may write a Dockerfile of a ConTeXt image without fonts, then
another Dockerfile of an image based on the first one, where you add
the fonts you need for a particular job.

In case i had to add some fonts to a running container, i would "docker
cp" them inside it, in the system fonts dirs, and then "docker exec"
this command in the container:
mtxrun --script fonts --reload

Hope it helps,
best wishes,

Dear Mojca,


obviously I have forgotten to add an important detail - the fonts I want to 
install are TrueType fonts. My bad and apologies!


For installing ttf I've used 
http://tug.org/pracjourn/2005-2/schmitz/schmitz.pdf (also mentioned in wiki) so 
far, and it worked every time.

Nowadays texfont is the wrong tool to use. It doesn't actually install
fonts, it merely converts them from, say, Type 1, to a zillion of
8-bit files (meaning that you won't even be able to use more than a
couple accented characters in that font). This was useful before TeX
supported OpenType fonts, but is a complete waste of time and
resources to go through that painful route nowadays.

You can just copy your own OpenType font files to, say,
texmf-fonts/data (and probably update the font database after that
with mtxrun).

as  you can see in
tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/perl

and you can run it with
$ mtxrun --script texfont  --help

Do, for r mkii you need to provide in some way pdftex, perl and ruby
(for the scripts under tex/texmf-context/scripts/context/ruby)
