Pound sign £ output as italic dollar sign [urgent]
Hello, I was just about to send my book to press when I noticed the '£' appears in my PDF as an italic dollar sign. I looked it up in the archive and google. Have tried \pound and \sterling -- nothing seems to work. It's very strange, when I output the chapter's product separately from the project the £ appears as expected. When I generate the project it appears as italic $. I'm using ConTeXt ver: 2010.10.19 23:03 MKII fmt: 2010.10.20 int: english/english with TeXLive 2010 on MacOS X 10.6. And I have the following in my environment file: \language[en] \mainlanguage[en] \enableregime[utf-8] I'm using TeX Gyre fonts. Any ideas? TIA, Elliot

Do you have a minimal example that demonstrates the behaviour? The following works for me (but I didn't test it inside project): \mainlanguage[en] \enableregime[utf-8] \usetypescript[heros][ec] \setupbodyfont[heros] \starttext abc £ \stoptext Mojca

this depends on the font ... normally it should work out ok if you use \$ there is some historic issue here: in the cmr there were different characters in the same slot for italic / regular afaik tex gyre is normal ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
