Description:
ConTeXt tries to load fonts from nonexistent places. TTF/DejaVuSerif.ttf in following example:
fonts > otf loading > loading 'TTF/DejaVuSerif.ttf', hash 'dejavuserif'
otf reader > unable to open 'TTF/DejaVuSerif.ttf'

As a result, letters from several alphabets (Greek, Russian) doesn't appear in a result .pdf file

Although same package in Ubuntu has no problems here:
fonts > otf loading > loading '/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype/public/dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf', hash 'dejavuserif'
ConTeXt installed without pacman works well too

Additional info:
* package version: [2022.63035-1]

Steps to reproduce:
1) In ConTeXt source file (.tex) add this lines:
\setupbodyfont[dejavu]

\starttext
Example. Παράδειγμα. Пример
\stoptext

2) Run: context source.tex
3) See source.pdf
