It's usually not a question of 'font'.
If the following characters are displayed
correctly on your screen (fyrst accented
vowels, then o-umlaut and finally thorn
and eth) then you don't have any font problems.

á é í ú ó ý æ ö þ ð

One (slow) method you could use is copying characters
from the list above into the clipboard and
pasting them where you need them.

Yes, 'þér' is nominative plural.

If you are using 'o' to represent 'ð'.
(It is more common to use 'd', 'dh' or 'th'.)

Try 'hvat'.
