No, I never had problems with Umlauts. What you can also try is this:
if you open EC.enc, you'll find a couple of LIGKERN instructions at
the beginning of the file. These seem to confuse some utilities so
they don't include the default ligatures anymore. So what you can do:
just delete lines 1-27 of EC.enc, so the first line is
/ECEncoding [ % now 256 chars follow
Then save this new file in the directory where you run texfont so it
will be found first. You can discard it afterwards.
