Hi there,
The macro \sterling results in {\it\$} which is an italics dollar sign ($)
when I use:
\setupbodyfont[pos]
Currently I solved it by saying: \char163, but that's not portable in any
way.
I guess this only applies to Hans and Taco, the pos font-environment uses
the texnansi Times/Helvetica/Courier tfm's (which I happen to use a lot).
Gilbert.

Agree. There are more chars affected by this.
Hans, I think the best thing we can do is add lines to enco-* for the
next update:
% [\redefinecharacter sterling]
\startencoding[texnansi]
\definecharacter sterling 163
....
\stopencoding
There are many more of these things (\paragraph,\dagger,\cent etc.),
and almost all of these text symbols do depend on font encoding.
