Hello.


I am trying to get the icelandic letters thorn (þ) and eth (ð) to work

but nothing seems to do.  These letters work correctly in LaTeX and I

am using ConTeXt and LaTeX from the TeTeX distribution.

The file I currenty have is like this (It's in ISO 8859-1 encoding):



Dear Kári,

This works for me.

\usetypescript[modern][ec]
\setupbodyfont[10pt,rm]

\enableregime[utf]
\setupencoding[default=ec]
\useencoding[ec]

\starttext
aábcdðeéfghiíjklmnoópqrstuúvxyzþæö
AÁBCDÐEÉFGHIÍJKLMNOÓPQRSTUÚVXYZ\Thorn{}ÆÖ
\stoptext

Try that. I am using ConTeXt through the T2005 install by Gerben Wierda. 

Charlie
