Dear Mari,
Thank you very much! The magic worked!
I am using this:
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] %this is the magic!
\setupbodyfont[pos]
\usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
\starttext
Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a}
\stoptext
Thanks,
Charlie

I get ? if I try with the very default fonts (known to me as a problem
with diacritis, standard cmr font just can't do it):
---
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\starttext
Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a}
\stoptext
---
[Note: I'm using Windows, so the output has been directed straight to pdf,
less hassle for the clueless than dvi etc.]
However, if I use the standard pos fonts as I always do be able to write
among others Finnish, it works:
---
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupbodyfont[pos]
\starttext
Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a}
\stoptext
If you test the above in live.contextgarden.net or if the compilation
process hangs on your computer, add a magic line:
---
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usetypescript[adobekb] [\defaultencoding] %this is the magic!
\setupbodyfont[pos]
\starttext
Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a}
\stoptext
(The above works perfectly at live.contextgarden.net, which may help)
Not all fonts have diacritics, so it won't always work, but with the
standard postscript fonts you should be fine.
BTW, thank you for the tip, both of you - if I ever have to write Old
Norse again, I know which program I'll use for it...

Dear Taco,
Thank you very much for your reply. I get ? when I use the above. But I
just chanced mathmode
{\em H\k{o}f$\eth$i} / {\em H\k{o}f$\eth$a}, and I get <>
This is not quite the character shown in the Palatino examples in
Hans's Fonts in ConTeXt pp 17 ff. number 240 in the bottom left of the
font table but I can get by with that.
If you think of another way I would be grateful.
Thanks again,
Charlie

Hi Charles,
Try this:
Howth {\em H\k{o}f\eth i} / {\em H\k{o}f\eth a},
(LaTeX 'dh' = [eE]th, 'th'= [tT]horn, 'ng' = [eE]ng)
Greetings, Taco
