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.
