While DP shop should be able to handle more than Latin-1, the problem seems to be in the viewer or in a combination of viewer and OS: - It doesn’t depend on the font, I tried Computer Modern and Alegreya (that is known to have some OpenType ligature issues). - I checked with several viewers, and the Adobe apps (Acrobat Pro 9 and Reader DC) decompose just the ü, while my other viewers including Apple’s Preview decompose all the umlauts. (Just copied and pasted into an hex editor.) - It also happens with PDFs from other sources. So it’s not a ConTeXt bug. Sorry for the noise.
