Dear all,
Using the following input in LaTeX I could get the output below. But
try as I might I cannot achieve this in ConTeXt.
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{palatino}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}

My input for ConTeXt is:
\enableregime[mac]
\usetypescriptfile [adobekb]
\setupencoding [default=ec]
\usetypescript [adobekb] [\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding]
\starttext
Howth {\em H\k{o}f\dh i} / {\em H\k{o}f\dh a},
...
Output from the console says that \dh is an undefined control sequence.
This and similar commands are mentioned in Kopka and Daly: A guide to
LaTeX2e p. 423.
In LaTeX using \dh \DH \th \TH I get the result below. But the \ng \NG
produce the black rule. I would be happy if just the \dh worked.

I note that the encoding in LaTeX is T1. In Hans's Fonts in ConTeXt p.
17 this seems to be the equivalent to 8r. I tried this but with no
success.
I would be most grateful if anyone can help. I use a Mac OSX 1.3.5. My
TeX installation is throught Gerben's installer.
Thanks,
Charlie

I get ? when I use the above. I get ? if I try with the very default fonts (known to me as a problem with diacritis, standard cmr font just can't do it): --- \setupoutput[pdftex] \starttext Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a} \stoptext --- [Note: I'm using Windows, so the output has been directed straight to pdf, less hassle for the clueless than dvi etc.] However, if I use the standard pos fonts as I always do be able to write among others Finnish, it works: ------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \setupbodyfont[pos] \starttext Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a} \stoptext ---- If you test the above in live.contextgarden.net or if the compilation process hangs on your computer, add a magic line: ------- \setupoutput[pdftex] \usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] %this is the magic! \setupbodyfont[pos] \starttext Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a} \stoptext ---- (The above works perfectly at live.contextgarden.net, which may help) Not all fonts have diacritics, so it won't always work, but with the standard postscript fonts you should be fine. BTW, thank you for the tip, both of you - if I ever have to write Old Norse again, I know which program I'll use for it...
