Thank you Wolfgang! I didn't know this detail, always considering this
distinction between different folders for font types. I did know,
however, that mtxrun now contains automatic routines with regard to
pointing to the %win%/fonts path.

As Taco suggested, the best way to install new fonts on MS Windows
(and other OSes) is to tell ConTeXt where they are located. On
Windows, fonts are usually found in /Fonts. But you still need to
purge the font cache and regenerate it so that the system can
interact with ConTeXT. A safer method is to create separate
directories, as indicated by Taco:
/tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/data/urbanist. You can also distinguish
between True Type fonts (ttf) and Open Type fonts (otf) by separating
folders as follows: /tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/otf/ and
/tex/texmf-fonts/fonts/ttf/.
When you use context for a single user you can create a folder texmf
in the users home directory and place all files in the subfolder
fonts/data, e.g.
C:\Users\...\texmf\fonts\data>
There is no need to make distinctions between the two file extension
ttf and otf because they are meaningless because most truetype fonts
are also opentype font.
