try \udiaeresis directly; does it work?

fontinst is completely unrelated to LaTeX, but it supports the creation
of LaTeX's font-definition files (.fd). This task for ConTeXt, the creation
of typescript files, you have to do yourself.

There is a manual for fontinst available, but the best about fontinst is:
CTAN:info/Type1fonts/fontinstallationguide.pdf
