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
