So how can I get the good old British pound sign. (No I don't want to convert to Euros!)

If you turn on right kind of encoding, you can even get the typed pound sign to look like a pound. Makes a bunch of other symbols work, too, like the degree sign (guess why I know this...). I'm ConTeXting in Windows (NT/2000/XP), so the setting for me is \enableregime[il1] (il1 for Iso-Latin 1) Some of the other regimes (like \enableregime[ec]) are mentioned in the "Fonts in ConTeXt" manual on p. 16. I think there is also an (undocumented) \enableregime[mac] for Mac users, but I might be wrong. Mari (whose NTEmacs still doesn't understand the euro, so so much for OUR currency...)
