RE: [NTG-context] lmr (texnansi vs ec)

Dear gang,

Why does lmr in ConTeXt use the ec instead of the texnansi encoding? I just noticed that all of my macros that use, e.g.,

\char'25

lmr is defined for both ec and texnansi encodings (and even for qx). But ec is default. Use \usetypescript[latin-modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[latin-modern]

Ok; it just seems strange that texnansi is not the default, since that's closer to Knuth's original. Maybe its because I (like Knuth) am in America where we don't have accents-)

Ishamid, \char is wrong approach since it is encoding-dependent definition. Use glyph name instead, like \endash, \Aacute.

Are those names defined in Plain TeX? But that's a good idea anyway; I'll just depend on the ConTeXt framework.

But ... your glyph number 25 is not defined in the texnansi. So what it is?
