I don't think it's the font. I have been trying to produce an em dash using the latest stable release from contextgarden.net, with a couple of different fonts--Alegreya, which is a free OpenType font, Latin Modern, and one other that I don't remember. In my case, regardless of the font, \emdash works but --- does not.
