Where's the pound (�) sign gone?
Well after much playing with font settings I am still confused. Can anyone
out there help.
If I use:
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usetypescript[berry][ec]
\usetypescript[modern][ec]
\setupbodyfont[modern,10pt]
\starttext
Where has the pound $\pound$ sign gone
\stoptext
Then the output doesn't contain any sign. If I then use:
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\usetypescript[berry]
\usetypescript[modern]
\setupbodyfont[modern,10pt]
\starttext
Where has the pound $\pound$ sign gone
\stoptext
I end up with a dollar ($) sign.
So how can I get the good old British pound sign. (No I don't want to
convert to Euros!)
On another track, is there any way of getting pdftex to use the pfb concrete
fonts, rather than the bitmap versions without a major hack of my map files?
Has someone written a simple little routine to do the patching
automatically. They print out ok, but the on-screen versions are really
naff.
Thanks
Mark.

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...)
