You just missed one critical row that makes things work both in
live.contextgarden.net and at least in my own installation (I just wish
somebody made TeXFont work in Windows...). Patrick mentioned this
yesterday, but perhaps you haven't seen the message?

Try this:
\usetypescript[adobekb][ec] %or whatever your encoding is

If that works on your computer (I *know* it works in contextgarden as I
found out about it by trial and error, a note in cont-sys.rme/cont-sys.tex
led me to the right track), try this (works in contextgarden):

---

\usetypescript[adobekb][ec] % THIS does the magic
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

\starttext

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

ÅÄÖ åäö

\stoptext

as Computer Modern doesn't have them - if the diacritics turn up in the
pdf file, the font settings work.]


Good luck from a font-fighting fellow,
