My hint(s) only work in XeTeX and LuaTeX. > By the way I am using Latin Modern (ec encoding). With ec encoding you really need to do ugly things. You need to compose a character by more or less manually lowering the breve accent and take care for italic correction yourself. Not even accent primitive can be used for it. And you cannot use the combining accent after the character or the proper Unicode glyph (though the latter might be possible by patching some definition in ConTeXt core), you always need to use a macro. With XeTeX and LuaTeX all that comes (almost) for free.
