Hello Albrecht,

Are you sure that you have saved your file in the utf-8 encoding and
not in koi8r or something? The problem of getting the wrong characters
can come from that. Moreover, the example:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\enableregime[utf]
\useencoding[cyr]

\definetypeface [russian]
  [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a]

\setupbodyfont[russian]
\starttext
νΑΝΑ Ι πΑΠΑ % Some Russian characters
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

from the wiki page works here. (Ok, since I wrote the page it would be
kind of weird if it did not). Have you generated the tmf files?

Have anyone else tried if it works for them?
