Great. Many thanks for that!

I knew I need an installer. :-(
I have downloaded the archive "t-simplefonts-2009.08.01.zip" from <http://modules.contextgarden.net/simplefonts 
 > and placed this zip file in the place "/usr/local/context/ 
2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local" and switched to the terminal:

---Terminal Output---

Then I tried a simple test file after using "luatool --generate" on my  
non-admin account:
titus:wech jh$ luatool --generate
titus:wech jh$ context myriad.tex
...
...
/2009-06-11-beta/texmf-context/tex/context/base/type-otf.mkiv)))
system          : myriad.top loaded
(myriad.top)
fonts           : preloading latin modern fonts
bodyfont        : 12pt rm is loaded
language        : language en is active
system          : module simplefonts loaded
(/usr/local/context/2009-06-11-beta/texmf-local/tex/context/third/ 
simplefonts/t-simplefonts.tex
loading         : ConTeXt User Module / Simplefonts
! Undefined control sequence.
l.707 \startprocesscommacommand
                                [\simplefonts!weight]
?
---Terminal Output---


Well, it seems that your instructions did basically work, since the  
module simplefonts is loaded. But nevertheless the simple test file  
aborts and complains about " Undefined control sequence. l.707  
\startprocesscommacommand[\simplefonts!weight]".

Do you have an idea what went wrong on my side?

The content of the file "myriad.tex" is just:

\mainlanguage[de]
\setuplayout[middle]
% \definefontfeature[default][default][
%   mode=node,
%   protrusion=quality,
%   expansion=quality,
%   onum=yes,pnum=yes]
\usemodule[simplefonts] %[size=10pt]
\setmainfont[Myriad Pro]
% \setupbodyfont[ss,10pt]
%
% \setupinterlinespace[line=2.6ex]
%
% \definefont[big][Serif at .25\vsize]
\starttext
Nun denn.
\stoptext

The Myriad font is installed, see Screenshot "Schriftsammlung.pdf".
Definitely a dump error on my side, but could you please give me a  
hint on how to proceed?

It seems that I am really dependent on your installer...

Many thanks again for your help and patience

Best regards
