Dear Hans,

In relation to your reply above I replied to Kári Hreinsson in relation to getting Icelandic letters with this:

Dear Kári,

This works for me.

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

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

\starttext
aábcdğeéfghiíjklmnoópqrstuúvxyzşæö
AÁBCDĞEÉFGHIÍJKLMNOÓPQRSTUÚVXYZ\Thorn{}ÆÖ
\stoptext

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

but on looking at my output again the ö and Ö (o umlaut) do not appear when using the 'modern' typescript above. They do appear using 'palatino'. Is this a problem with modern?

Best wishes,

Charlie
